Abstract "For a finite group G, we denote by [omega](G) the number of Aut(G)-orbits on G, and by o(G) the number of distinct element orders in G. In this paper, we are primarily concerned with the two quantities d(G) :[equals] [omega](G) - o(G) and q(G) :[equals] [omega](G)/ o(G), each of which may be viewed as a measure for how far G is from being an AT-group in the sense of Zhang (that is, a group with [omega](G) [equals] o(G)). We show that the index [absolute value]G : Rad(G) of the soluble radical Rad(G) of G can be bounded from above both by a function in d(G) and by a function in q(G) and o(Rad(G)). We also obtain a curious quantitative characterization of the Fischer-Griess Monster group M"-- Provided by publisher.
