Finite groups with the same spectra as the direct squares of the finite simple groups with abelian Sylow 2-subgroups are considered. It is proved that the direct square $J_1\\times J_1$ of the sporadic Janko group $J_1$ and the direct squares ${^2}G_2(q)\\times{^2}G_2(q)$ of the simple small Ree groups ${^2}G_2(q)$ are uniquely characterized by their spectra in the class of finite groups, while for the direct square $PSL_2(q)\\times PSL_2(q)$ of a 2-dimensional simple linear group $PSL_2(q)$, there are always infinitely many groups (even solvable groups) with the same spectra.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2023-12-13T05:25:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "20D60", "20D06" ], "keywords": [ "direct square", "abelian sylow", "finite groups", "recognition", "simple small ree groups" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
