Abstract: The spectrum $omega(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the set of element orders of $G$. If $Omega$ is a non-empty subset of the set of natural numbers, $h(Omega)$ stands for the number of isomorphism classes of finite groups $G$ with $omega(G)=Omega$ and put $h(G)=h(omega(G))$. We say that $G$ is recognizable (by spectrum $omega(G)$) if $h(G)=1$. The group $G$ is almost recognizable (resp. nonrecognizable) if $1<h(G)<infty$ (resp. $h(G)=infty$). In the present paper, we focus our attention on the projective general linear groups $PGL(2,p^n)$, where $$ is a prime, $$ and $ngeq1$, and we show that these groups cannot be almost recognizable, in other words $h(PGL(2,p^n))in1,infty$. It is also shown that the projective general linear groups $PGL(2,7)$ and $PGL(2,9)$ are nonrecognizable. In this paper a computer program has also been presented in order to find out the primitive prime divisors of $a^n-1$.

Review text

For a finite group \(G\), denote by \(h(G)\) the number of non-isomorphic finite groups \(H\) having the same set of element orders as \(G\). Let \(G=\text{PGL}(2,p^n)\), \(p=2^\alpha 3^\beta+1\) is a prime. The authors prove that \(h(G)\) is equal to 1 or is infinite. Reviewer's remark: In present time the exact value of \(h(\text{PGL}(2,q))\) is known for every \(q\) [see \textit{G. Y. Chen, V. D. Mazurov, W. J. Shi, A. V. Vasil'ev} and \textit{A. Kh. Zhurtov}, J. Group Theory 10, No. 1, 71-85 (2007; Zbl 1121.20018)].
