Following Gluck and Wolf we complete the Itô--Michler's Theorem for the projective representations of a $p$-solvable or $π$-separable group, and then we relate the projective irreducible modules of such a group with those of its Sylow $p$-subroups and Hall $π$-subgroups.
Presenting a finite group by a free product of finite cyclic groups the Hopf formula for the Schur multiplier affords also a covering group, and this has minimal exponent provided that the order of the generators is preserved. This condition corresponds to a covering projection between simplicial complexes, and so a presentation by a Fuchsian group corresponds to a covering projection between compact surfaces.
This article focuses on those aspects about partial actions of groups which are related to Schur's theory on projective representations. It provides an exhaustive description of the partial Schur multiplier, and this result is achieved by introducing the concept of a second partial cohomology group relative to an ideal, together with an appropriate analogue of a central extension. In addition, the new framework is proved to be consistent with the earlier notion of cohomology over partial modules.
For a finite group we introduce a particular central extension, the unitary cover, having minimal exponent among those satisfying the projective lifting property. We obtain new bounds for the exponent of the Schur multiplier relating to subnormal series, and we discover new families for which the bound is the exponent of the group. Finally, we show that unitary covers are controlled by the Zel'manov solution of the restricted Burnside problem for 2-generator groups.
