The Schur multiplier of a group, , is . It is also the second homology group, with coefficients in the trivial -module .
A group is called perfect if its abelianization is trivial, i.e., its first homology group, , vanishes, and a perfect group is called superperfect if its Schur multiplier also vanishes.
Let be a perfect discrete group. Then possesses a Schur cover, whose central subgroup is the Schur multiplier .
