Quantitative characterization of finite simple groups: a complement

From MaRDI portal





This article surveys a large body of work on the characterization of finite simple groups through numerical invariants, focusing on the so-called ``two orders: the order of the group and the set of element orders. The set of element orders of a finite group \(G\) is commonly called the spectrum of \(G\) and is denoted by \(\varpi(G)\).\N\NThe author reviews the development of the conjecture that a finite simple group \(S\) is uniquely determined by the pair \((|S|, \varpi(S))\), now a theorem. The paper also discusses related problems such as Thompson's conjecture, the recognition of groups by spectrum and the structure of isospectral groups. Various techniques involving prime graphs and element orders are presented.
