The Number of Isomorphism Classes of Finite Groups with Given Element Orders

Let G be a finite group and _e(G) the set of element orders of G. Denote by h( _e(G)) the number of isomorphism classes of finite groups H satisfying _e(H) = _e(G). We prove that if G has at least three prime graph components, then h( _e (G)){1, }.     

Finite groups in whichp′-classes haveq′-length

IfG is a finite group in which every element ofp′-order centralizes aq-Sylow subgroup ofG, wherep andq are distinct primes, it is shown thatO ^q′ (G) is solvable,l _q (G)≤1 andl _p (O ^q′ (G)) ≤2. Further, the structure ofG is determined to some extent. Work partially supported by MURST research program “Teoria dei gruppi ed applicazioni”.     

Recognition by Spectrum of Some Linear Groups over the Binary Field

We focus our attention on the linear groups L _n (2) and obtain some general properties of these groups. We will show then that the linear groups L _p (2), where 2 is a primitive root mod p (p odd prime), are recognizable by spectrum. For example, the linear groups L ₃(2), L ₅(2), L ₁₁(2), L ₁₃(2), L ₁₉(2), L ₂₉(2), L ₃₇(2), L ₅₃(2), etc. are recognizable by spectrum.     

C55-Groups

We classify the C55-groups, i.e., finite groups in which the centralizer of every 5-element is a 5-group.
