Description

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


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
