Almost recognizability by spectrum of simple exceptional groups of Lie type. (Q2356080): Difference between revisions

The spectrum of a finite group is the set of its element orders. Groups are said to be isospectral if their spectra coincide. In the given paper, the authors prove that, for every finite simple exceptional group \(L=E_7(q)\), each finite group \(G\) isospectral to \(L\) has the socle isomorphic to \(L\); in particular, up to isomorphism, there are finitely many such groups. This assertion, together with a series of previously obtained results, implies that the same is true for every finite simple exceptional group except the group \(^3D_4(2)\).
