ApCoCoA-1:Heisenberg groups

Heisenberg groups

Description

The Heisenberg group is the group of 3x3 upper triangular matrices of the form

Heisenberg groups are often used in quantum mechanics and also occurs in fourier analysis. A representation is given by:

 H(2k+1) = <a_{1},...,a_{k},b_{1},...,b_{k},c | [a_{i},b_{i}] = c, [a_{i},c] = [b_{i},c], [a_{i},b_{j}] = 1 for all i != j
