Abstract: Let $H$ be a Krull monoid with finite class group $G$ and suppose that every class contains a prime divisor. If an element $ainH$ has a factorization $a=u_{1}cdotldotscdot{u}_k$ into irreducible elements $u_1,ldots,u_{k}inH$, then $k$ is called the length of the factorization and the set $mathsfL(a)$ of all possible factorization lengths is the set of lengths of $a$. It is classical that the system $mathcalL(H)=mathsfL(a)midainH$ of all sets of lengths depends only on the class group $G$, and a standing conjecture states that conversely the system $mathcalL(H)$ is characteristic for the class group. We verify the conjecture if the class group is isomorphic to $C_n^r$ with $r,nge2$ and $rlemax2,(n+2)/6$. Indeed, let $H^{\prime }$ be a further Krull monoid with class group $G^{\prime }$ such that every class contains a prime divisor and suppose that $mathcalL(H)=mathcalL(H^{\prime })$. We prove that, if one of the groups $G$ and $G^{\prime }$ is isomorphic to $C_n^r$ with $r,n$ as above, then $G$ and $G^{\prime }$ are isomorphic (apart from two well-known pairings).
