Abstract: In this note, starting with any group homomorphism $fcolonGammaoG$, which is surjective upon abelianization, we construct a universal central extension $ucolonUwoheadrightarrowG,$ UNDER $Gamma$ with the same surjective property, such that for any central extension $mcolonMwoheadrightarrowG,$ under $f,$ there is a unique homomorphism $UoM$ with the obvious commutation condition. The kernel of $u$ is the relative Schur multiplier group $H_2(G,Gamma;mathbbZ)$ as defined in the paper. The case where $G$ is perfect corresponds to $Gamma=1$. This yields homological obstructions to lifting solution of equations in $G.$ Upon repetition, for finite groups, this gives a universal hypercentral factorization of the map $fcolonGammaoG$.
