OD-characterization of almost simple groups related to U3(11)

Abstract

Let $L := U_3(11)$. In this article, we classify groups with the same order and degree pattern as an almost simple group related to $L$. In fact, we prove that $L$, $L:2$ and $L:3$ are OD-characterizable, and $L:S_3$ is $5$-fold OD-characterizable.
