Abstract: Let G be a group, define an equivalence relation s as below: 8 g; h 2 G g s h () jgj = jhj the set of sizes of equivalence classes with respect to this relation is called the same-order type of G. Shen et al. (Monatsh. Math. 160 (2010), 337-341.), showed that A5 is the only group with the same-order type f1; 15; 20; 24g. In this paper, among other things, we prove that a nonabelian simple group G has same-order type fr; m; n; kg if and only if G ?= A5.

Review text

Let \(G\) be a group and let \(s_n\) be the number of elements of order \(n\) in \(G\), Hence, \(s_1 = 1\). Assume that for a finite simple group \(G\) there are exactly four different values \(s_n\). Then, the authors prove that \(G \cong A_5\). The proof is by showing that \(|G|\) has exactly three prime divisors and then inspecting these groups, which were classified by \textit{M. Herzog} [J. Algebra 10, 383--388 (1968; Zbl 0167.29101)].
