AbstractWe use Godeaux–Serre varieties of finite groups, projective representation theory, the twisted Atiyah–Segal completion theorem, and our previous work on the topological period-index problem to compute the étale index of Brauer classes α ∈ Brét(X) in some specific examples. In particular, these computations show that the étale index of α differs from the period of α in general. As an application, we compute the index of unramified classes in the function fields of high-dimensional Godeaux–Serre varieties in terms of projective representation theory.

In this paper we classify finite groups G with a faithful, quasiprimitive (see Notation), unimodular representation X with character χ of degree six over the complex number field. There are three gaps in the proof which are filled in by [16; 17]. These gaps concern existence and uniqueness of simple, projective, complex linear groups of order 604800, |LF(3, 4)|, and |PSL4(3)|. By [19], X is a tensor product of a 2-dimensional and a 3-dimensional group, or a subgroup thereof, or X corresponds to a projective representation of a simple group, possibly extended by some automorphisms. The tensor product case is discussed in section 10. Otherwise, we assume that G/Z(G) is simple. We discuss which automorphisms of G/Z(G) extend the representation X (that is, lift to the central extension G and fix the character corresponding to X) just after we find X(G).
