    Let \(G\) be a finite group. The author proves that \(G\simeq A_n\), \(n\geq 5\), if and only if the normalizers of their Sylow \(p\)-subgroups have the same order for every prime \(p\). As a further generalization the following result is proved: \(G\simeq A_n\), \(n\geq 4\) with \(n\neq 8, 10\), if and only if \(|G|=|A_n|\) and the normalizers of their Sylow \(r\)-subgroups have the same order, where \(r\) is the greatest prime not exceeding \(n\). The author also proved that \(L_n(q)\) may be characterized by the orders of the normalizers of the Sylow \(p\)-subgroups for every prime \(p\) [Acta Math. Sin., New Ser. 11, No. 3, 300-306 (1995; Zbl 0839.20020)].
