Abstract: In this PhD thesis we discuss methods of recognizing finite groups by the structure of normalizers of certain 3-subgroups. We explain a method for characterizing groups using character theoretic and block theoretic methods and we use these methods to characterize $alt(9)$. Furthermore, we describe a particular hypothesis related to the 3-local structure of finite groups of local characteristic 3 and characterize two almost simple proper extensions of $Omeg{a}_8^{+}(2)$ as examples of the local approach to group recognition. We also give a 3-local characterization of the sporadic simple group $HN$ using local methods whilst applying a character theoretic result.
