On the characterizability of the automorphism groups of sporadic simple groups by their element orders. (Q705100)

Let \(\pi_e(G)\) denote the set of orders of elements in a group \(G\) and \(h(\pi_e(G))\) denote the number of isomorphism classes of finite groups with the same set \(\pi_e(G)\) of element orders. In this paper, the authors investigate the \(h\)-function value for the automorphism groups of sporadic simple groups. This research is a continuation of the reviewer's previous investigation [Algebra Colloq. 1, No. 2, 159-166 (1994; Zbl 0799.20019)].
