Given a group G denote with exppGq its exponent, which is the least common multiple of the order of its elements. In this paper we solve the problem of finding the finite simple groups having a proper subgroup with the same exponent. For each G with this property we will give an explicit example of H ă G with exppGq " exppHq.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
