A new characterization of symmetric groups for some n

Let G be a finite group and let πe(G) be the set of element orders G. Let k ∈ πe(G) and let mk be the number of elements of order k in G. Set nse(G):={mk|k ∈ πe(G)}. In this paper, we prove that if G is a group such that nse(G)=nse(Sn) where n ∈ {3, 4, 5, 6, 7}, then G ∼= Sn.
