Representation Theory
A group homomorphism from a group G to a projective linear group is called a projective representation of the group G, by analogy with a linear representation (a homomorphism ). These were studied by Issai Schur, who showed that projective representations of G can be classified in terms of linear representations of central extensions of G. This led to the Schur multiplier, which is used to address this question.
