The projective representations of a finite group G over a field K are divided into sets, each parametrized by an element of the group H2(G, Kx). The latter is the Schur multiplier M(G) when K = ℂ.

We prove that, given a quasi-primitive complex representation D for a finite group G, the possible ways of decomposing D as an inner tensor product of two projective representations of G are parametrised in terms of the group structure of G. More explicitly, we construct a bijection between the set of such decompositions and a particular interval in the lattice of normal subgroups of G.

AbstractWe study the space of irreducible representations of a crossed product ${C}^{\ast } $-algebra ${\mathop{A\rtimes }\nolimits}_{\sigma } G$, where $G$ is a finite group. We construct a space $\widetilde {\Gamma } $ which consists of pairs of irreducible representations of $A$ and irreducible projective representations of subgroups of $G$. We show that there is a natural action of $G$ on $\widetilde {\Gamma } $ and that the orbit space $G\setminus \widetilde {\Gamma } $ corresponds bijectively to the dual of ${\mathop{A\rtimes }\nolimits}_{\sigma } G$.

1. Introduction.Let p be a prime number. A finite group G = (G, B, N, R, U) is called a split(B, N)-pair of characteristic p and rank n if(i) G has a (B, N)-pair (see [3, Definition 2.1, p. B-8]) where H= B ⋂ N and the Weyl group W= N/H is generated by the set R= ﹛ω 1,… , ω n) of “special generators.”(ii) H= ⋂n∈N n-1Bn(iii) There exists a p-subgroup U of G such that B = UH is a semidirect product, and H is abelian with order prime to p.A (B, N)-pair satisfying (ii) is called a saturated (B, N)-pair. We call a finite group G which satisfies (i) and (iii) an unsaturated split (B, N)- pair. (Unsaturated means “not necessarily saturated”.)

Of recent years the author has been interested in developing a representation theory of the algebra of representations [5; 6] of a finite group G, and dually of its classes [7]. In this paper Frobenius’ Reciprocity Theorem provides a starting point for the introduction of the inverses R-1 and I-1 of the restricting and inducing operators R and I. The condition under which such inverse operations are available is that the classes of G do not splitin the subgroup Ĝ. When this condition is satisfied the application of these operations to inner products is of interest.

Let G bea finite group, let C1, …, Cn be the cyclic subgroups of G and let 1i be the identity linear character of Ci (1 ≤ i ≤ n). It is a well-known result of Artin ((l), 39·1) that a character x of a linear representation of G over the rational numbers may be writtenwhere a1, …, an are integers. In this note, we establish an analogue of this result for characters of projective representations over the rational numbers.

Let K be a commutative noetherian ring. It is proved that a representation of a finite group on a K-module of finite length or on a K-module of finite exponent has a finite basis for its identities. In particular, this implies an earlier result of Nguyen Hung Shon and the author stating that every representation of a finite group over a field is finitely based. The problem whether every representation of a finite group over a commutative noetherian ring is finitely based still remains open.

The minimal (faithful) degree μ(G) of a finite group G is the least positive integer n such that G ≲ Sn. Clearly if H ≤ G then μ(H) ≤ μ(G). However if N ◃ G then it is possible for μ(G/N) to be greater than μ(G); such groups G are here called exceptional. Properties of exceptional groups are investigated and several families of exceptional groups are given. For example it is shown that the smallest exceptional groups have order 32.

Let G be a finite group and p a prime number. About five years ago I. M. Isaacs and S. D. Smith [5] gave several character-theoretic characterizations of finite p-solvable groups with p-length 1. Indeed, they proved that if P is a Sylow p-subgroup of G then the next four conditions (l)–(4) are equivalent:(1) G is p-solvable of p-length 1.(2) Every irreducible complex representation in the principal p-block of G restricts irreducibly to NG(P).(3) Every irreducible complex representation of degree prime to p in the principal p-block of G restricts irreducibly to NG(P).(4) Every irreducible modular representation in the principal p-block of G restricts irreducibly to NG(P).

AbstractLet G be a finite group and p be a prime. We investigate isomorphism invariants of $\mathbb{Z}_p$[G]-lattices whose extension of scalars to $\mathbb{Q}_p$ is self-dual, called regulator constants. These were originally introduced by Dokchitser–Dokchitser in the context of elliptic curves. Regulator constants canonically yield a pairing between the space of Brauer relations for G and the subspace of the representation ring for which regulator constants are defined. For all G, we show that this pairing is never identically zero. For formal reasons, this pairing will, in general, have non-trivial kernel. But, if G has cyclic Sylow p-subgroups and we restrict to considering permutation lattices, then we show that the pairing is non-degenerate modulo the formal kernel. Using this we can show that, for certain groups, including dihedral groups of order 2p for p odd, the isomorphism class of any $\mathbb{Z}_p$[G]-lattice whose extension of scalars to $\mathbb{Q}_p$ is self-dual, is determined by its regulator constants, its extension of scalars to $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and a cohomological invariant of Yakovlev.

AbstractLet G be a finite group and χ be an irreducible character of G. An efficient and simple method to construct representations of finite groups is applicable whenever G has a subgroup H such that χH has a linear constituent with multiplicity 1. In this paper we show (with a few exceptions) that if G is a simple group or a covering group of a simple group and χ is an irreducible character of G of degree less than 32, then there exists a subgroup H (often a Sylow subgroup) of G such that χH has a linear constituent with multiplicity 1.
