Abstract

Given a finite group G, let V (G) = fpep(G)jp 2 ρ(G)g, where ρ(G) is the set of prime divisors of the degrees of all irreducible characters of G and pep(G) =maxfχ(1)pjχ 2 Irr(G)g. In fact, V (G) is the vertex set of the prime-power graph of G. An interesting topic is to study if a finite simple group M can be uniquely determined by its order jMj and V (M). It has been proved that the simple groups L2(p2) and L2(p3) can be uniquely determined by its orders and vertex set of its prime-power graphs, respectively, where p is a prime. In this paper, we continue this topic and show that G ∼ = L3(p) if and only if jGj = jL3(p)j and V (G) = V (L3(p)), where p is a prime.
