Abstract

Let G be a group, and let nse(G) be the set of the number of elements with the same order in group G. In this paper, we prove that if G is a group and Sz(2^9) is the Suzuki simple group such that nse(G) = nse(Sz(2^9)), then G is isomorphic to the Suzuki simple group Sz(2^9). In other words, we prove that the simple Suzuki group Sz(2^9) is uniquely determined by its set of the number of elements with the same order. Consequently, Thompson’s problem is true for the Suzuki simple group Sz(2^9 ).
