Abstract
Let G be a finite p-solvable group for a fixed prime p. We study how certain arithmetical conditions on the set of p-regular conjugacy class sizes of G influence the p-structure of G. In particular, the structure of the p-complements of G is described when this set is $\{1,m,n\}$ for arbitrary coprime integers $m,n>1$. The structure of G is determined when the noncentral p-regular class lengths are consecutive numbers and when all of them are prime powers.
