On Groups with Several Doubly-Transitive Permuation Representations.
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.

We introduce parabolic subgroups, show that they are weakly maximal, and that the corresponding quasi-regular representations are irreducible. These (infinite-dimensional) representations are approximated by finite-dimensional quasi-regular representations. The Hecke algebras...
