Twisted group rings of strongly unbounded representation type (Q4821134)

Let \(S^tG\) be a twisted group ring of a finite \(p\)-group \(G\) over a commutative local ring \(S\) of prime characteristic \(p>0\), where \(S\) is not a field. The aim of this paper is to study the \(S\)-representations of the ring \(S^tG\), which is equivalent to study the finitely generated \(S\)-free left \(S^tG\)-modules. Following the terminology of \textit{J. P. Jans} [Ann. Math. (2) 66, 418-429 (1957; Zbl 0079.05203)], the authors define and study the notions twisted group rings of finite, infinite, bounded, unbounded and strongly unbounded representation type. In the present paper they mainly describe the twisted group rings \(S^tG\) of strongly unbounded representation type when \(S\) is a local integral domain, local Noetherian ring or local Noetherian integral domain. For finite \(p\)-groups they also introduce the concept of distinct projective \((S,W)\)-representation types and prove a number of propositions when \(S=F[\![X]\!]\) and \(F\) is a perfect field of characteristic \(p>0\).
