Abstract

For simple twisted group algebra over a group GG, if GG^{\shortmid} is Hall subgroup of GG then the semi-center is simple. Simple twisted groups algebras correspond to groups of central type. We classify all groups of central type of order p4p^4 where pp is prime and use this to show that for odd primes pp there exists a unique group GG of order p4p^4 such that there exists simple twisted group algebra over GG with a commutative semi-center. Moreover, if 1<G<641< |G|< 64, then the semi-center of simple twisted group algebras over GG is non-commutative and this bounds are strict.
