Projective representation

In the field of representation theory in mathematics, a projective representation of a group G on a vector space V over a field F is a group homomorphism from G to the projective linear group where GL(V) is the general linear group of invertible linear transformations of V over F, and F∗ is the normal subgroup consisting of nonzero scalar multiples of the identity; scalar transformations). In more concrete terms, a projective representation is a collection of operators \rho(g),\, g\in G, where it is understood that each \rho(g) is only defined up to multiplication by a constant. These should satisfy the homomorphism property up to a constant: for some constants c(g,h). Since each \rho(g) is only defined up to a constant anyway, it does not strictly speaking make sense to ask whether the constants c(g,h) are equal to 1. Nevertheless, one can ask whether it is possible to choose a particular representative of each family \rho(g) of operators in such a way that the \rho(g)'s satisfy the homomorphism property on the nose, not just up to a constant. If such a choice is possible, we say that \rho can be "de-projectivized," or that \rho can be "lifted to an ordinary representation." This possibility is discussed further below.
