Review text

For a finite group \(G\) let \(i(G)= \{|G:M|\mid M\) maximal\} be the set of indexes of maximal subgroups. The author proves in this note: Theorem. Let \(A\) be an alternating group and \(B\) a nonabelian, finite, simple group with \(i(B)\subseteq i(A)\), then \(A\simeq B\). The proof of this result uses the classification of finite simple groups. The author conjectures that if \(M\), \(N\) are nonabelian simple groups with \(|N|\mid|M|\) and \(i(N) \subseteq i(M)\) then \(M\simeq N\) or \(N\simeq \text{PSL} (2,11)\) and \(M\simeq M_{11}\).
