On some conjectures related to finite nonabelian simple groups

Abstract

In this note we provide some counterexamples for the conjecture of Moret\'{o} on finite simple groups, which says that any finite simple group $G$ can determined in terms of its order $|G|$ and the number of elements of order $p$, where $p$ the largest prime divisor of $|G|$. Moreover, we show that this conjecture holds for all sporadic simple groups and alternating groups $A_n$, where $n\neq 8, 10$. Some related conjectures are also discussed.
