Abstract:
Let $G$ be a finite group. The set of all prime divisors of the order of $G$ is called the prime spectrum of $G$ and is denoted by $\pi(G)$. A group $G$ is called prime spectrum minimal if $\pi(G) \not = \pi(H)$ for any proper subgroup$H$ of$G$. We prove that every prime spectrum minimal group all whose non-abelian composition factors are isomorphic to the groups from the set $\{PSL_2(7), PSL_2(11), PSL_5(2)\}$ is generated by two conjugate elements. Thus, we expand the correspondent result for finite groups with Hall maximal subgroups. Moreover, we study the normal structure of a finite prime spectrum minimal group which has a simple non-abelian composition factor whose order is divisible by $3$ different primes only.
