Abstract:
Let \(G\) be a finite group and \(\left |Cent(G)\right |\) be the number of distinct centralizers of its elements. \(G\) is called \(n-centralizer\) if \(\left |Cent(G)\right | = n\). In this paper, we classify all finite non-abelian simple groups \(G\) with \(\left |Cent(G)\right | \leq 100\).

Keywords: Finite group, n-centralizer group, simple group
