A characterization of projective special unitary group \(U_3(7)\) by \(\mathrm{nse}\). (Q895952)

Summary: Let \(G\) a group and \(\omega(G)\) be the set of element orders of \(G\). Let \(k\in\omega(G)\) and let \(s_k\) be the number of elements of order \(k\) in \(G\). Let \(\mathrm{nse}(G)=\{s_k\mid k\in\omega(G)\}\). In Khatami et al. and Liu's works, \(L_3(2)\) and \(L_3(4)\) are uniquely determined by \(\mathrm{nse}(G)\). In this paper, we prove that if \(G\) is a group such that \(\mathrm{nse}(G)=\mathrm{nse}(U_3(7))\), then \(G\cong U_3(7)\).
