  Abstract:
Let G be a finite group. The order of G is the product of coprime positive integers which is called the order components of G. It was proved that some non-abelian simple groups are uniquely determined by their order components. As the main result of this paper, we show that the simple groups PSU(17,q) are also uniquely determined by their order components. As corollaries of this result, the validity of a conjecture of J. G. Thompson and a conjecture of W. Shi. and J. Bi both on PSU(17,q) is obtained.
