Let G be a (not necessarily finite) group and ρ a finite dimensional faithful irreducible representation of G over an arbitrary field; write ρ¯ for ρ viewed as a projective representation. Suppose that ρ is not induced (from any proper subgroup) and that ρ¯ is not a tensor product (of projective representations of dimension greater than 1). Let K be a noncentral subgroup which centralizes all its conjugates in G except perhaps itself, write H for the normalizer of K in G, and suppose that some irreducible constituent, σ say, of the restriction p↓K is absolutely irreducible. It is proved that then (ρ is absolutely irreducible and) ρ¯ is tensor induced from a projective representation of H, namely from a tensor factor π of ρ¯↓H such that π↓K = σ¯ and ker π is the centralizer of K in G.
