Wigner's classification has led to the insight that projective unitary representations play a prominent role in quantum mechanics. The physics literature often states that the theory of projective unitary representations can be reduced to…

The Bogomolov multiplier of a finite group $G$ is defined as the subgroup of the Schur multiplier consisting of the cohomology classes vanishing after restriction to all abelian subgroups of $G$. This invariant of $G$ plays an important…

Let $G$ be a finite group, $V$ a faithful finite-dimensional representation of $G$ over the complex field $\mathbb{C}$ and $\mathbb{C}(V)^{G}$ be the corresponding invariant field. The Bogomolov multiplier $B_{0}(G)$ of $G$ is canonically…

We examine the cohomology and representation theory of a family of finite supergroup schemes of the form $(\mathbb G_a^-\times \mathbb G_a^-)\rtimes (\mathbb G_{a(r)}\times (\mathbb Z/p)^s)$. In particular, we show that a certain relation…

Let $G=G_1 \times G_2$ be a finite group. We know that the second cohomology group $H^2(G,\mathbb C^\times)$ is isomorphic to $H^2(G_1,\mathbb C^\times) \times H^2(G_2,\mathbb C^\times) \times Hom(G_1/G_1' \otimes_\mathbb Z G_2/G_2',…

A symmetry in quantum mechanics is described by the projective representations of a Lie symmetry group that transforms between physical quantum states such that the square of the modulus of the states is invariant. The Heisenberg…

Braid groups are an important and flexible tool used in several areas of science, such as Knot Theory (Alexander's theorem), Mathematical Physics (Yang-Baxter's equation) and Algebraic Geometry (monodromy invariants). In this note we will…
