contents The group isomorphism problem in computational complexity asks whether two finite groups given by their Cayley tables are isomorphic or not. Although polynomial-time isomorphism tests exist for many specific types of groups, no general polynomial-time algorithm is known, classes of solvable and nilpotent groups being the main obstacles. In 2012 Babai and Qiao gave a polynomial-time isomorphism test for the class of solvable groups admitting normal series with abelian Sylow factors. We generalize their result and give a polynomial-time isomorphism test for A-groups, i.e. groups with abelian Sylow subgroups. The algorithm heavily relies both on the computational methods developed by Babai and Qiao, and structural properties of A-groups.
