The OD-characterizability conjecture for alternating groups

Let HH be a finite group, and let hOD(H)h_{\rm OD}(H) denote the number of isomorphism classes of groups GG such that G=H|G|=|H| and D(G)=D(H){\rm D}(G)={\rm D}(H). A group is OD-characterizable when hOD(H)=1h_{\rm OD}(H)=1. The OD-characterizability conjecture for alternating groups. Every alternating group AmA_m with m10m\neq 10 is OD-characterizable. The conjecture is explicitly proposed as a continuation of known results for alternating groups, including all AmA_m with m<100m<100 except A10A_{10}. It is refuted: the paper states that A125A_{125} satisfies hOD(A125)3h_{\rm OD}(A_{125})\geqslant 3, and proves that infinitely many alternating groups are not OD-characterizable.
