Abstract

In previous papers I and II under the same title, we proposed a practical method called Efficient stairway up to the Sky, and apply it to some typical finite groups GG, with Schur multiplier M(G)M(G) containing prime number 3, to construct explicitly their representation groups R(G)R(G), and then, to construct a complete set of representatives of linear IRs of R(G)R(G), which gives naturally, through sectional restrictions, a complete set of representatives of spin IRs of GG. In the present paper, we are concerned mainly with group G=G39G=G_{39} of order 27 in a list of Tahara's paper, with M(G)=Z3×Z3M(G)={\mathbb Z}_3\times {\mathbb Z}_3. In this case, to arrive up to the Sky, we have two steps of one-step efficient central extensions. By the 1st step, we obtain a covering group of order 81, and by the 2nd step we arrive to R(G)R(G) of order 243. At the 1st step, to construct explicitly a complete set of representatives of IRs of the group, we apply Mackey's induced representations, and at the 2nd step, with a help of this result, we apply so-called classical method for semidirect product groups given by Hirai and arrive to a complete list of IRs of R(G)R(G). Then, using explicit realization of these IRs, we can compute their characters (called spin characters).
