On finite groups isospectral to groups with abelian Sylow $2$-subgroups

The spectrum of a finite group is the set of orders of its elements. We are concerned with finite groups having the same spectrum as a direct product of nonabelian simple groups with abelian Sylow $2$-subgroups. For every positive integer $k$, we find $k$ nonabelian simple groups with abelian Sylow 2-subgroups such that their direct product is uniquely determined by its spectrum in the class of all finite groups. On the other hand, we prove that there are infinitely many finite groups having the same spectrum as the direct cube of the small Ree group $^2G_2(q)$, $q>3$, or the direct fourth power of the sporadic group $J_1$.

Criterion of nonsolvability of a finite group and recognition of direct squares of simple groups

The spectrum $ω(G)$ of a finite group $G$ is the set of orders of its elements. The following sufficient criterion of nonsolvability is proved: if among the prime divisors of the order of a group $G$, there are four different primes such that $ω(G)$ contains all their pairwise products but not a product of any three of these numbers, then $G$ is nonsolvable. Using this result, we show that for $q\geqslant 8$ and $q\neq 32$, the direct square $Sz(q)\times Sz(q)$ of the simple exceptional Suzuki group $Sz(q)$ is uniquely characterized by its spectrum in the class of finite groups, while for $Sz(32)\times Sz(32)$, there are exactly four finite groups with the same spectrum.

On recognition of symplectic and orthogonal groups of small dimensions by spectrum

We refer to the set of the orders of elements of a finite group as its spectrum and say that finite groups are isospectral if their spectra coincide. In the paper we determine all finite groups isospectral to the simple groups $S_6(q)$, $O_7(q)$, and $O_8^+(q)$. In particular, we prove that with just four exceptions, every such a finite group is an extension of the initial simple group by a (possibly trivial) field automorphism.

On element orders in covers of finite simple groups of Lie type

By a proper cover of a finite group G we mean an extension of a nontrivial finite group by G. Our purpose is to show that a proper cover of a finite simple group L of Lie type always contains an element whose order differs from the element orders of L provided that the Lie rank of L is sufficiently large.
