let l = u3(9) be the simple projective unitary group in dimension 3 over a eld with 92 elements. in this article, we classify groups with the same order and degree pattern as an almost simple group related to l. since aut(l) = z4 hence almost simple groups related to l are l, l : 2 or l : 4. in fact, we prove that l, l : 2 and l : 4 are od-characterizable.

let $g $ be a finite group and let $gamma(g)$ be the prime graph‎ ‎of g‎. ‎assume $2 < q = p^{alpha} < 100$‎. ‎we determine finite groups‎ ‎g such that $gamma(g) = gamma(u_3(q))$ and prove that if $q neq‎ ‎3‎, ‎5‎, ‎9‎, ‎17$‎, ‎then $u_3(q)$ is quasirecognizable by prime graph‎, ‎i.e‎. ‎if $g$ is a finite group with the same prime graph as the‎ ‎finite simple group $u_3(q)$‎, ‎then $g$ has a un...

let l := u3(11). in this article, we classify groups with the same order and degree pattern as an almost simple group related to l. in fact, we prove that l, l:2 and l:3 are od-characterizable, and l:s3 is 5-fold od-characterizable.

after the classification of the flag-transitive linear spaces, the attention has been turned to line-transitive linear spaces. in this article, we present a partial classification of the finite linear spaces $mathcal s$ on which an almost simple group $g$ with the socle $g_2(q)$ acts line-transitively.

let g be a finite group and let $gk(g)$ be the prime graph of g. we assume that $n$ is an odd number. in this paper, we show that if $gk(g)=gk(b_n(p))$, where $ngeq 9$ and $pin {3,5,7}$, then g has a unique nonabelian composition factor isomorphic to $b_n(p)$ or $c_n(p)$ . as consequences of our result, $b_n(p)$ is quasirecognizable by its spectrum and also by a new proof, the validity of a con...

the theorem 12 in [a note on $p$-nilpotence and solvability of finite groups, j. algebra 321(2009) 1555--1560.] investigated the non-abelian simple groups in which some maximal subgroups have primes indice. in this note we show that this result can be applied to prove that the finite groups in which every non-nilpotent maximal subgroup has prime index aresolvable.
