Abstract: Let $mcs(G)$ denote the set of conjugacy class sizes of a group $G$, and let ${mcs}^{\ast }(G)=mcs(G)setminus1$ be the sizes of non-central classes. We prove three results. We classify all finite groups $G$ with $mcs(G)=a,a+d,dots,a+rd$ an arithmetic progression with $rgeqslant2$. (We show that $mcs(G)=1,2,3$.) Our most substantial result classifies all $G$ with ${mcs}^{\ast }(G)=2,4,6$. Finally, we classify all groups $G$ whose largest two non-central conjugacy class sizes are coprime. (Here it is not obvious but it is true that ${mcs}^{\ast }(G)$ has two elements, and so is an arithmetic progression.)
