Let G be a finite group. The prime graph of G is denoted by ?(G). We prove that the simple group PSLn(3), where n ? 9, is quasirecognizable by prime graph; i.e., if G is a finite group such that ?(G) = ?(PSLn(3)), then G has a unique nonabelian composition factor isomorphic to PSLn(3). Darafsheh proved in 2010 that if p > 3 is a prime number, then the projective special linear group PSLp(3) is at most 2-recognizable by spectrum. As a consequence of our result we prove that if n ? 9, then PSLn(3) is at most 2-recognizable by spectrum.

In this paper, we find the number of the element centralizers of a finite group [Formula: see text] such that the central factor of [Formula: see text] is the projective special linear group of degree 2 or the Suzuki group. Our results generalize some main results of [Ashrafi and Taeri, On finite groups with a certain number of centralizers, J. Appl. Math. Comput. 17 (2005) 217–227; Schmidt, Zentralisatorverbände endlicher Gruppen, Rend. Sem. Mat. Univ. Padova 44 (1970) 97–131; Zarrin, On element centralizers in finite groups, Arch. Math. 93 (2009) 497–503]. Also, we give an application of these results.

Let G be a finite group. The prime graph Γ(G) of G is defined as follows. The vertices of Γ(G) are the primes dividing the order of G and two distinct vertices p, p′ are joined by an edge if there is an element in G of order pp′. In [G. Y. Chen et al., Recognition of the finite almost simple groups PGL2(q) by their spectrum, Journal of Group Theory, 10 (2007) 71–85], it is proved that PGL(2, pk), where p is an odd prime and k > 1 is an integer, is recognizable by its spectrum. It is proved that if p > 19 is a prime number which is not a Mersenne or Fermat prime and Γ(G) = Γ(PGL(2, p)), then G has a unique nonabelian composition factor which is isomorphic to PSL(2, p). In this paper as the main result, we show that if p is an odd prime and k > 1 is an odd integer, then PGL(2, pk) is uniquely determined by its prime graph and so these groups are characterizable by their prime graphs.

In [Li and Chen, A new characterization of the simple group [Formula: see text], Sib. Math. J. 53(2) (2012) 213–247.], it is proved that the simple group [Formula: see text] is uniquely determined by the set of orders of its maximal abelian subgroups. Also in [Momen and Khosravi, Groups with the same orders of maximal abelian subgroups as [Formula: see text], Monatsh. Math. 174 (2013) 285–303], the authors proved that if [Formula: see text], where [Formula: see text] is not a Mersenne prime, then every finite group with the same orders of maximal abelian subgroups as [Formula: see text], is isomorphic to [Formula: see text] or an extension of [Formula: see text] by a subgroup of the outer automorphism group of [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we prove that if [Formula: see text] is a finite group with the same orders of maximal abelian subgroups as [Formula: see text], then [Formula: see text] has a unique nonabelian composition factor which is isomorphic to [Formula: see text].

Let G be a finite group. The prime graph Γ(G) of G is defined as follows: The set of vertices of Γ(G) is the set of prime divisors of |G| and two distinct vertices p and p' are connected in Γ(G), whenever G has an element of order pp'. A non-abelian simple group P is called recognizable by prime graph if for any finite group G with Γ(G)=Γ(P), G has a composition factor isomorphic to P. In [4] proved finite simple groups 2Dn(q), where n ≠ 4k are quasirecognizable by prime graph. Now in this paper we discuss the quasirecognizability by prime graph of the simple groups 2D2k(q), where k ≥ 9 and q is a prime power less than 105.

Let G be a finite group. The prime graph Γ(G) of G is defined as follows. The vertices of Γ(G) are the primes dividing the order of G and two distinct vertices p, p′ are joined by an edge if G has an element of order pp′. Let D = Dn(2), where n ≥ 3 or 2Dn(2), where n ≥ 15. In this paper we prove that D is quasirecognizable by prime graph, i.e. every finite group G with Γ(G) = Γ(D), has a unique nonabelian composition factor which is isomorphic to D. Finally, we consider the quasirecognition by spectrum for these groups. Specially we prove that if p = 2n + 1 ≥ 17 is a prime number, then Dp(2) is recognizable by spectrum.

Let G be a finite group. The prime graph Γ(G) of G is defined as follows. The vertices of Γ(G) are the primes dividing the order of G and two distinct vertices p, q are joined by an edge if there is an element in G of order pq. It is proved that if p > 11 and p ≢ 1 (mod 12), then PSL(2,p) is uniquely determined by its prime graph. Also it is proved that if p > 7 is a prime number and Γ(G) = Γ(PSL(2,p2)), then G ≅ PSL(2,p2) or G ≅ PSL(2,p2).2, the non-split extension of PSL(2,p2) by ℤ2. In this paper as the main result we determine finite groups G such that Γ(G) = Γ(PSL(2,q)), where q = pk. As a consequence of our results we prove that if q = pk, k > 1 is odd and p is an odd prime number, then PSL(2,q) is uniquely determined by its prime graph and so these groups are characterizable by their prime graph.

IfRis a ring, the structure of the projective special linear groupPSL2(R)is used to investigate the existence of sum of square properties holding inR. Rings which satisfy Fermat's two-square theorem are called sum of squares rings and have been studied previously. The present study considers a related property called square property one. It is shown that this holds in an infinite class of rings which includes the integers, polynomial rings over many fields andZpnwherePis a prime such that−3is not a squaremodp. Finally, it is shown that the class of sum of squares rings and the class satisfying square property one are non-coincidental.
