All groups G considered in this paper are finite and all representations of G are defined over the field of complex numbers. The reader unfamiliar with projective representations is referred to [9] for basic definitions and elementary results. Let Proj (G, α) denote the set of irreducible projective characters of a group G with cocyle α. In previous papers (for exampe [2], [4], and [6]) numerous authors have considered the situation when Proj(G, α) = 1 or 2; such groups are said to be of α-central type or of 2α-central type, respectively. In particular in [4, Theorem A] the author showed that if Proj(G, α) = {ξ1, ξ2}, then ξ1(1)=ξ2(1). This result has recently been independently confirmed in [8, Corollary C].
