Abstract
Let G be a finite group Denote by IrrG the set of all irreducible complex characters of G Let rm cdG=chi1chiin rm IrrG be the set of all irreducible complex character degrees of G forgetting multiplicities and let X1G be the set of all irreducible complex character degrees of G counting multiplicities Let H be any nonabelian simple exceptional group of Lie type In this paper we will show that if S is a nonabelian simple group and rm cdSsubseteq rm cdH then S must be isomorphic to H As a consequence we show that if G is a finite group with rm X 1Gsubseteq rm X 1H then G is isomorphic to H In particular this implies that the simple exceptional groups of Lie type are uniquely determined by the structure of their complex group algebras
