Abstract

The Gruenberg-Kegel graph (or the prime graph) Γ(G)\Gamma(G) of a finite group GG is the graph whose vertex set is the set of prime divisors of G|G| and in which two distinct vertices rr and ss are adjacent if and only if there exists an element of order rsrs in GG. A group GG is recognizable by isomorphism type of Gruenberg--Kegel graph if for every group HH the isomorphism between Γ(H)\Gamma(H) and Γ(G)\Gamma(G) as abstract graphs (i.\,e. unlabeled graphs) implies that GHG\cong H. In this paper, we prove that finite simple exceptional groups of Lie type 2E6(2){^2}E_6(2) and E8(q)E_8(q) for q{3,4,5,7,8,9,17}q \in \{3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9, 17\} are recognizable by isomorphism type of Gruenberg-Kegel graph.
