Let G be a noncyclic abelian p-group and K be an infinite field of finite characteristic p. For every 2-cocycle λ ∈ Z²(G,K*) such that the twisted group algebra is of infinite representation type, we find natural numbers d for which G has infinitely many faithful absolutely indecomposable λ-representations over K of dimension d.
Let G be a finite group, F a field of characteristic p with p||G|, and the twisted group algebra of the group G and the field F with a 2-cocycle λ ∈ Z²(G,F*). We give necessary and sufficient conditions for to be of finite representation type. We also introduce the concept of projective F-representation type for the group G (finite, infinite, mixed) and we exhibit finite groups of each type.
Our aim is to determine necessary and sufficient conditions for a finite nilpotent group to have a faithful irreducible projective representation over a field of characteristic p ≥ 0.
