Abstract. Let G be a group, define an equivalence relation ∼ as below:the set of sizes of equivalence classes with respect to this relation is called the same-order type of G. Shen et al. (Monatsh. Math. 160 (2010), 337-341.), showed that A 5 is the only group with the same-order type {1, 15, 20, 24}. In this paper, among other things, we prove that a nonabelian simple group G has same-order type {r, m, n, k} if and only if G ∼ = A 5 .
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.
