A $P_4$-free graph is called a cograph. In this paper we partially characterize finite groups whose power graph is a cograph. As we will see, this problem is a generalization of the determination of groups in which every element has prime…

The spectrum of a group is the set of its element orders. A finite group $G$ is said to be recognizable by spectrum if every finite group that has the same spectrum as $G$ is isomorphic to $G$. We prove that the simple alternating groups…
