Schur index two and bilinear forms (Q2367194)

Let \(G\) be a finite group, \(F\) some real field and \(\chi\) some complex irreducible character of \(G\) with values in \(F\) such that \(m_ F(\chi) \neq 1\) (where \(m_ F(\chi)\) denotes the Schur index of \(\chi\) with respect to \(F\)). Let \(M\) be an \(FG\)-module affording the character \(m_ F(\chi)\chi\) and \(f\) be some \(G\)-invariant nonsingular symmetric bilinear form on \(M\). Then the determinant of \(f\) is one up to squares in \(F^*\). When \(m_ \mathbb{R}(\chi) \neq 1\), \(f\) is fully described in terms of the centralizer algebra \(\text{End}_{FG}(M)\). In particular the Hasse invariant \(\text{Hasse}(f)\) is calculated.
