Given a finite group G of cardinality N, the group determinant [theta]G associated to G is a homogeneous polynomial in N variables of degree N. We study two properties of [theta]G. First we determine the stabilizer of [theta](G) under the action of permuting its variables. Then we also prove that the Lehmer's constant for any finite abelian group must satisfy a system of congruence equations. In particular when G is a p-group, we can strengthen the result to establish upper and lower bounds for the Lehmer's constant. / text
