Abstract
For a finite group G, we denote by N (G) the set of its conjugacy class sizes. Recently, the following question was posed: given any n ∈ ℕ and an arbitrary non-Abelian finite simple group S, is it true that G ≃ Sn if G is a group with trivial center and N (G) = N (Sn)? The answer to this question is known for all simple groups S with n = 1, and also for S ∈ {A5, A6}, where Ak denotes the alternating group of degree k, with n = 2. It is proved that the group A5 × A5 × A5 is uniquely defined by the set N (A5 × A5 × A5) in the class of finite groups with trivial center.
期刊介绍:
This bimonthly journal publishes results of the latest research in the areas of modern general algebra and of logic considered primarily from an algebraic viewpoint. The algebraic papers, constituting the major part of the contents, are concerned with studies in such fields as ordered, almost torsion-free, nilpotent, and metabelian groups; isomorphism rings; Lie algebras; Frattini subgroups; and clusters of algebras. In the area of logic, the periodical covers such topics as hierarchical sets, logical automata, and recursive functions.
Algebra and Logic is a translation of ALGEBRA I LOGIKA, a publication of the Siberian Fund for Algebra and Logic and the Institute of Mathematics of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
All articles are peer-reviewed.
