Jun 20, 2018 at 11:37 comment added kneidell The order of $PSL(2,11)$ is, of course, $660$, and not $1320$. I can't edit for some reason.. anyway, it doesn't affect the (non-) argument.
Jun 20, 2018 at 11:27 comment added kneidell This doesn't really answer your question, but it's what I had in mind- the assumption $\theta(1)=9$ implies that $\det(\rho_\theta(h))$ is a $3^k$ root of unity for some $k$. Here $\rho_\theta$ is a representation affording $\theta$. Using the defining relation of the cocycle $\beta\in H^2(G/H,\mathbb C)$ associated with $\theta$, it is possible to infer that $\beta$ must have order $3^k$ as well, but by the theorem is should also divide $|PSL(2,11)|=1320$, and hence is either $1$ or $3$. Maybe there's some reason why it can't be $3$? (IDK)
Jun 20, 2018 at 11:19 comment added C. Simon @kneidell I know that Theorem 11.15. But I don't know how to use it.
Jun 20, 2018 at 11:18 comment added kneidell Oh, wait.. I'm not sure what I suggested would work here.
Jun 20, 2018 at 11:16 comment added kneidell @Simon: Ok, so I think you can use Theorem 11.15 of Isaac's book ''Character theory of finite groups'' to prove extendibility. Write down the defining relation of the cocycle associated to $\theta$, take determinants, and use what the theorem tells you about the order of this cocycle.
Jun 20, 2018 at 11:13 comment added C. Simon @ kneidell $PSL(2,11)$ means the projective group of rank 1 over $F_{11}$.
Jun 20, 2018 at 11:08 comment added kneidell Silly question- Does $PSL(2,11)$ mean the projective group of rank 1 over $\mathbb F_{11}$ or the projective group of rank $10$ over $\mathbb F_{2}$?
Jun 20, 2018 at 8:50 comment added Aurel By Clifford theory, some multiple of $\theta$ extends to $G$.

Jun 20, 2018 at 7:27 comment added Dima Pasechnik it would be very strange if this was true. look for counterexamples...
Jun 20, 2018 at 3:32 comment added C. Simon @Venkataramana $\theta(1)$ is the degree of $\theta$.
Jun 20, 2018 at 3:29 comment added Venkataramana I take it that $\theta (1)=9$ is a typo?
