    summary:For a finite group GG denote by N(G)N(G) the set of conjugacy class sizes of GG. In 1980s, J. G. Thompson posed the following conjecture: If LL is a finite nonabelian simple group, GG is a finite group with trivial center and N(G)=N(L)N(G) = N(L), then G≅LG\cong L. We prove this conjecture for an infinite class of simple groups. Let pp be an odd prime. We show that every finite group GG with the property Z(G)=1Z(G)=1 and N(G)=N(Ai)N(G) = N(A_{i}) is necessarily isomorphic to AiA_{i}, where i∈{2p,2p+1}i\in \{2p,2p+1\}
