Let $G$ be a finite group and let $D(g)$ be a projective representation of $G$ i.e.
beginequation
D(g) D(h) = e^i omega(g,h) D(gh)
endequation
These can be classified by the equivalence relation $omega(g,h) sim omega(g,h)+theta(g)+ theta(h) - theta(gh)$ subject to the condition $omega(g,h)+omega(gh,l)-omega(h,l)-omega(g,hl) = 0$.
The distinct equivalent classes of projective representations are labeled by elements of $H^2(G,U(1))$.
I know that for every such finite group, there is atleast one finite covering group C with the property that every projective representation of G can be lifted to an ordinary representation of C [1].



My question is about the relationship between the irreducible representations (irreps) of C and the group $H^2(G,U(1))$. Specifically, is the following statement true?:



Every irrep $Gamma_i$ of C can be associated an element of $nu in H^2(G,U(1))$ like $Gamma^nu_i$. The group property of $H^2(G,U(1))$ is reflected in the Clebsch-Gordan decomposition of tensor product of irreps of C:
beginequation
Gamma^nu_i otimes Gamma^mu_j cong bigoplus_k Gamma^nu+mu_k
endequation



I have noticed that this is true for all cases I have seen when $ H^2(G,U(1)) cong mathbbZ_2$ like $G = mathbbZ_2 times mathbbZ_2$, $C = D_8$ but I am unsure if this is true in general.
