Finite groups with the same conjugacy class sizes as a finite simple group

Abstract

For a finite group $H$‎, ‎let $cs(H)$ denote the set of non-trivial conjugacy class sizes of $H$ and $OC(H)$ be the set of the order components of $H$‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we show that if $S$ is a finite simple group with the disconnected prime graph and $G$ is a finite group such that $cs(S)=cs(G)$‎, ‎then $|S|=|G/Z(G)|$ and $OC(S)=OC(G/Z(G))$‎. ‎In particular‎, ‎we show that for some finite simple group $S$‎, ‎$G cong S times Z(G)$‎.
