By exploiting the well known spin representations of the orthogonal groups O(l), Morris [12] was able to give a unified construction of some of the projective representations of Weyl groups W(Φ) which had previously only been available by ad hoc means [5]. The principal purpose of the present paper is to give a corresponding construction for projective representations of the rotation subgroups W+(Φ) of Weyl groups. Thus we construct non-trivial central extensions of W+(Φ) via the well-known double coverings of the rotation groups SO(l). This adaptation allows us to give a unified way of obtaining the basic projective representations of W+(Φ) from those of W(Φ) determined in [12]. Hence our work is a development of the recent work of Morris, and is an extension of Schur's work on the alternative groups [15].

Let G be a finite simple group and let F be an algebraically closed field. A faithful projective F-representation of G of smallest possible degree often cannot be lifted to an ordinary representation of G, though it can of course be lifted to an ordinary representation of some central extension of G. It is a natural question to ask whether by considering non-central extensions, it is possible in some cases to decrease the smallest degree of a faithful projective representation.

Throughout, p will be a fixed prime, and will denote the class of all locally finite p-groups. For a fixed Abelian p-group A, we letwhere ζ(P) denotes the centre of P. Notice that A is not a class in the usual group-theoretic sense, since it is not closed under isomorphisms.

We prove thatP1 →f P2is a projective representation of a quiverQ=•→•if and only ifP1andP2are projective leftR-modules,fis an injection, andf (P 1)⊂P 2is a summand. Then, we generalize the result so that a representationM1 →f1  M2  →f2⋯→fn−2  Mn−1→fn−1  Mnof a quiverQ=•→•→•⋯•→•→•is projective representation if and only if eachMiis a projective leftR-module and the representation is a direct sum of projective representations.
