Tensor induction of projective representations

From MaRDI portal





There are some standard reduction techniques in representation theory of finite groups, mainly based on work by Clifford and Fong. Apparently less known is a method suggested by \textit{T. Berger} [Pac. J. Math. 73, 1-62 (1977; Zbl 0412.20004)] which refers to tensor induction of (projective) representations. It applies in the following situation: (TI) \(E\) is a nonabelian normal subgroup of the finite group \(G\) which is the central product of the distinct \(G\)-conjugates of some (proper) subgroup \(E_0\), and there is a \(G\)-stable faithful simple \(FE\)-module \(V\) with \(F\) being a splitting field for the unique simple constituent \(V_0\) of \(V_{E_0}\). In applications \(E\) usually is a minimal nonabelian normal subgroup of \(G\) and \(V\) is a component of the restriction \(W_E\) of some (faithful and primitive) simple \(FG\)-module \(W\); and \(E_0\) will be either quasisimple or an extraspecial \(p\)-group for some prime \(p\), or the central product of an extraspecial \(2\)-group with a cyclic group of order 4. These ``minimal situations have been already studied by the author [in Arch. Math. 54, 549-557 (1990; Zbl 0818.20010)] (excluding the final case which cannot occur when \(G\) is (\(2\)-)solvable). Here we give an approach which works in generality.
