Summary: For a given finite group \(G\) there exists a uniquely determined Dirichlet polynomial \(P_G(s)\) with the property that for \(t\in {\mathbb N}\) the number \(P_G(t)\) coincides with the probability of generating \(G\) by \(t\) randomly chosen elements. We discuss whether the isomorphism type of a simple group \(G\) can be determined by the knowledge of \(P_G(s)\).
