Abstract

The spectrum ω(G) of a finite group G is the set of element orders of G. A finite group G is said to be recognizable by spectrum (briefly, recognizable) if HG for every finite group H such that ω(H)=ω(G). We give two series, infinite by dimension, of finite simple classical groups recognizable by spectrum.
