On a conjecture about the quasirecognition by prime graph of some finite simple groups

Abstract

It is proved that some finite simple groups are quasirecognizable by prime graph. In [A. Mahmoudifar and B. Khosravi, On quasirecognition by prime graph of the simple groups [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text], J. Algebra Appl. 14(1) (2015) 12pp], the authors proved that if [Formula: see text] is a prime number and [Formula: see text], then there exists a natural number [Formula: see text] such that for all [Formula: see text], the simple group [Formula: see text] (where [Formula: see text] is a linear or unitary simple group) is quasirecognizable by prime graph. Also[Formula: see text] in that paper[Formula: see text] the author posed the following conjecture: Conjecture. For every prime power [Formula: see text] there exists a natural number [Formula: see text] such that for all [Formula: see text] the simple group [Formula: see text] is quasirecognizable by prime graph. In this paper [Formula: see text] as the main theorem we prove that if [Formula: see text] is a prime power and satisfies some especial conditions [Formula: see text] then there exists a number [Formula: see text] associated to [Formula: see text] such that for all [Formula: see text] the finite linear simple group [Formula: see text] is quasirecognizable by prime graph. Finally [Formula: see text] by a calculation via a computer program [Formula: see text] we conclude that the above conjecture is valid for the simple group [Formula: see text] where [Formula: see text] [Formula: see text] is an odd number and [Formula: see text].
