Title: Quasisimple classical groups and their complex group algebras
Abstract: Let $H$ be a finite quasisimple classical group, i.e. $H$ is perfect and $S:=H/Z(H)$ is a finite simple classical group. We prove in this paper that, excluding the cases when the simple group $S$ has a very exceptional Schur multiplier such as $\PSL_3(4)$ or $\PSU_4(3)$, $H$ is uniquely determined by the structure of its complex group algebra. The proofs make essential use of the classification of finite simple groups as well as the results on prime power character degrees and relatively small character degrees of quasisimple classical groups.
