All representations and characters studied in this paper are taken over the complex numbers, and all groups considered are finite. For basic definitions concerning projective representations see [1].

If G is a group and or is a cocycle of G we denote by Proj(G, α) = {ξ1, …, ξt} the set of irreducible projective characters of G with cocycle α, where of course t is the number of α-regular conjugacy classes of G; ξ1, (1) is called the degree of ξ1. Also as normal, M(G) will denote the Schur multiplier of G, [α] the cohomology classof α, and [1] the cohomology class of the trivial cocycle of G.
