Craven | For finite simple groups, rather than all finite groups, I think the minimal non-trivial projective dimension (i.e., dimension of a minimal representation of a central extension) is known explicitly. (There might be a couple of cases where it's not completely known down to the exact number, but I think for the complexes it is.) The papers you are looking for are the unique ones by Landazuri and Seitz, and a follow up by Seitz and Zalesski, There have been a few others since then, but their bounds are usually pretty good. | |
