Suppose that $G$ is a finite group, and that $\Gamma$ is a central extension of $G$ by $A$, that is $$ 1 \rightarrow A \rightarrow \Gamma \rightarrow G \rightarrow 1$$ with the image of $A$ contained ...

When $q$ is a power of some odd prime, is $1\neq a\in Z(2.E_7(q))\cong Z_2$ a square element in $2.E_7(q)$? A Lie algebra is a vector space $L$ over a field $K$ on which a product operation $[xy]$ is ...

Consider $G$ to be a finite group with non-trivial Schur Multipler $H^2(G,U(1))$, where $G$ acts trivially on the circle group $U(1)$. By Example of a Schur-nontrivial group with no abelian subgroup ...

This question is based on a question when is the restriction $H^2(G,\mathbb{C}^*)\to H^2(K,\mathbb{C}^*)$ surjective? I am asking this as a new question as I already asked that user but got no ...

Let $G=\langle x,y,z,w \mid [y,x]=w^p=z, x^{p^2}=y^p=z^p=1 \rangle$ be a group, where $[u,v]=u^{-1}v^{-1}uv$, $p$ is a prime and the commutator which do not appear is 1. Let $N=\langle y,w \rangle \...

I tried to find a reference for the computation of the Schur multiplier of groups of order $p^4$. The case in which $p=2$ is well known, see e.g. Table 1 at http://pages.bangor.ac.uk/~mas010/pdffiles/...
