A subalgebra pair of semisimple complex algebras B < A with inclusion matrix M is depth two if MMt M < nM for some positive integer n and all corresponding entries. If A and B are the group algebras of finite group-subgroup pair H < G, the induction-restriction table equals M and S = MMt satisfies S2 < nS iff the subgroup H is depth three in G; similarly depth n > 3 by successive right multiplications of this inequality with alternately M and Mt. We show that a Frobenius complement in a Frobenius group is a nontrivial class of examples of depth three subgroups. Depth-3 towers of Hopf algebras are also considered: a tower of Hopf algebras A > B > C is shown to be depth-3 if C < core(B).
