Abstract

Relative Rota-Baxter groups are generalizations of Rota-Baxter groups and share a close connection with skew left braces. These structures are well-known for offering bijective non-degenerate set-theoretical solutions to the Yang-Baxter equation. This paper builds upon the recently introduced extension theory and low-dimensional cohomology of relative Rota-Baxter groups. We prove an analogue of the Hochschild-Serre exact sequence for central extensions of relative Rota-Baxter groups. We introduce the Schur multiplier MRRB(A)M_{RRB}(\mathcal{A}) of a relative Rota-Baxter group A=(A,B,β,T)\mathcal{A} =(A,B,\beta,T), and prove that the exponent of MRRB(A)M_{RRB}(\mathcal{A}) divides AB|A||B| when A\mathcal{A} is finite. We define weak isoclinism of relative Rota-Baxter groups, introduce their Schur covers, and prove that any two Schur covers of a finite bijective relative Rota-Baxter group are weakly isoclinic. The results align with recent results of Letourmy and Vendramin for skew left braces.
