Schur multiplier of $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Q})$
What is the Schur multiplier of $\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{Q})$? The techniques used here give $K_2(\mathbb{Q})$ as a lower bound, but it’s probably bigger than that, especially since the universal cover ...

Examples for Bogomolov multiplier of finite group
Take $G$ to be a finite group. The projective representations of $G$ are classified by the group cohomology $H^2(G,U(1))$. Here $G$ has a trivial action on $U(1)$. We focus on the restriction map

Kernel of a double cover of group as stem extension
A stem extension of a group $X$ is a group $G$ with a subgroup $N$ contained in $G' \cap Z(G)$ such that $G/N$ is isomorphic to $X$, so that we have a short exact sequence $1 \to N \to G \to X \to 1$.

How hard (P, NP, NP-hard) is it to compute Schur norms of matrices (as multipliers)?
Given a matrix $A\in M_n(\mathbb{C})$, I will denote by $||A||_\infty$ the operator norm of $A$, as seen acting on the Hilbert space $\mathbb{C}^n$. This makes $M_n(\mathbb{C})$ into a Banach space (...
