Abstract
A set of invariants for a finite group is described. These arise naturally from Frobenius’ early work on the group determinant and provide an answer to a question of Brauer. Whereas it is well known that the ordinary character table of a group does not determine the group uniquely, it is a consequence of the results presented here that a group is determined uniquely by its "3-character" table.
