under the operation of matrix multiplication. Elements a, b and c can be taken from any commutative ring with identity, often taken to be the ring of real numbers (resulting in the "continuous Heisenberg group") or the ring of integers (resulting in the "discrete Heisenberg group").
The continuous Heisenberg group arises in the description of one-dimensional quantum mechanical systems, especially in the context of the Stone–von Neumann theorem. More generally, one can consider Heisenberg groups associated to n-dimensional systems, and most generally, to any symplectic vector space.
The three-dimensional case
In the three-dimensional case, the product of two Heisenberg matrices is given by:
As one can see from the term ab', the group is non-abelian.
The neutral element of the Heisenberg group is the identity matrix, and inverses are given by
The group is a subgroup of the 2-dimensional affine group Aff(2): acting on corresponds to the affine transform .
There are several prominent examples of the three-dimensional case.
Continuous Heisenberg group
If a, b, c, are real numbers (in the ring R) then one has the continuous Heisenberg group H3(R).
In addition to the representation as real 3×3 matrices, the continuous Heisenberg group also has several different representations in terms of function spaces. By Stone–von Neumann theorem, there is, up to isomorphism, a unique irreducible unitary representation of H in which its centre acts by a given nontrivial character. This representation has several important realizations, or models. In the Schrödinger model, the Heisenberg group acts on the space of square integrable functions. In the theta representation, it acts on the space of holomorphic functions on the upper half-plane; it is so named for its connection with the theta functions.
Discrete Heisenberg group
If a, b, c, are integers (in the ring Z) then one has the discrete Heisenberg group H3(Z). It is a non-abeliannilpotent group. It has two generators,
and relations
,
where
is the generator of the center of H3. (Note that the inverses of x, y, and z replace the 1 above the diagonal with −1.)
If one takes a, b, c in Z/pZ for an odd primep, then one has the Heisenberg group modulop. It is a group of orderp3 with generators x,y and relations:
Analogues of Heisenberg groups over finite fields of odd prime order p are called extra special groups, or more properly, extra special groups of exponentp. More generally, if the derived subgroup of a group G is contained in the center Z of G, then the map from G/Z × G/Z → Z is a skew-symmetric bilinear operator on abelian groups.
However, requiring that G/Z to be a finite vector space requires the Frattini subgroup of G to be contained in the center, and requiring that Z be a one-dimensional vector space over Z/pZ requires that Z have order p, so if G is not abelian, then G is extra special. If G is extra special but does not have exponent p, then the general construction below applied to the symplectic vector space G/Z does not yield a group isomorphic to G.
Heisenberg group modulo 2
The Heisenberg group modulo 2 is of order 8 and is isomorphic to the dihedral group D4 (the symmetries of a square). Observe that if
.
Then
and
The elements x and y correspond to reflections (with 45° between them), whereas xy and yx correspond to rotations by 90°. The other reflections are xyx and yxy, and rotation by 180° is xyxy (=yxyx).
Heisenberg algebra
The Lie algebra of the Heisenberg group (over the real numbers) is known as the Heisenberg algebra.[1]
It may be represented using the space of 3×3 matrices of the form[2]
with .
The following three elements form a basis for ,
These basis elements satisfy the commutation relations,
.
The name "Heisenberg group" is motivated by the preceding relations, which have the same form as the canonical commutation relations in quantum mechanics,
where is the position operator, is the momentum operator, and is Planck's constant.
The Heisenberg group H has the special property that the exponential map is a one-to-one and onto map from the Lie algebra to the group H,[3]
In conformal field theory
In conformal field theory, the term Heisenberg algebra is used to refer to an infinite-dimensional generalization of the above algebra. It is spanned by elements , with commutation relations
Under a rescaling, this is simply a countably-infinite number of copies of the above algebra.
Higher dimensions
More general Heisenberg groups may be defined for higher dimensions in Euclidean space, and more generally on symplectic vector spaces. The simplest general case is the real Heisenberg group of dimension , for any integer . As a group of matrices, (or to indicate this is the Heisenberg group over the field of real numbers) is defined as the group matrices with entries in and having the form:
The exponential map of any nilpotent Lie algebra is a diffeomorphism between the Lie algebra and the unique associated connected, simply-connected Lie group.
This discussion (aside from statements referring to dimension and Lie group) further applies if we replace R by any commutative ring A. The corresponding group is denoted Hn(A ).
Under the additional assumption that the prime 2 is invertible in the ring A, the exponential map is also defined, since it reduces to a finite sum and has the form above (e.g. A could be a ring Z/pZ with an odd prime p or any field of characteristic 0).
The unitary representation theory of the Heisenberg group is fairly simple – later generalized by Mackey theory – and was the motivation for its introduction in quantum physics, as discussed below.
For each nonzero real number , we can define an irreducible unitary representation of acting on the Hilbert space by the formula:[4]
This representation is known as the Schrödinger representation. The motivation for this representation is the action of the exponentiated position and momentum operators in quantum mechanics. The parameter describes translations in position space, the parameter describes translations in momentum space, and the parameter gives an overall phase factor. The phase factor is needed to obtain a group of operators, since translations in position space and translations in momentum space do not commute.
The key result is the Stone–von Neumann theorem, which states that every (strongly continuous) irreducible unitary representation of the Heisenberg group in which the center acts nontrivially is equivalent to for some .[5] Alternatively, that they are all equivalent to the Weyl algebra (or CCR algebra) on a symplectic space of dimension 2n.
Since the Heisenberg group is a one-dimensional central extension of , its irreducible unitary representations can be viewed as irreducible unitary projective representations of . Conceptually, the representation given above constitutes the quantum mechanical counterpart to the group of translational symmetries on the classical phase space, . The fact that the quantum version is only a projective representation of is suggested already at the classical level. The Hamiltonian generators of translations in phase space are the position and momentum functions. The span of these functions do not form a Lie algebra under the Poisson bracket however, because Rather, the span of the position and momentum functions and the constants forms a Lie algebra under the Poisson bracket. This Lie algebra is a one-dimensional central extension of the commutative Lie algebra , isomorphic to the Lie algebra of the Heisenberg group.
On symplectic vector spaces
The general abstraction of a Heisenberg group is constructed from any symplectic vector space.[6] For example, let (V, ω) be a finite-dimensional real symplectic vector space (so ω is a nondegenerateskew symmetricbilinear form on V). The Heisenberg group H(V) on (V, ω) (or simply V for brevity) is the set V×R endowed with the group law
Any symplectic vector space admits a Darboux basis {ej, fk}1 ≤ j,k ≤ n satisfying ω(ej, fk) = δjk and where 2n is the dimension of V (the dimension of V is necessarily even). In terms of this basis, every vector decomposes as
If {ej, fk}1 ≤ j,k ≤ n is a Darboux basis for V, then let {E} be a basis for R, and {ej, fk, E}1 ≤ j,k ≤ n is the corresponding basis for V×R. A vector in H(V) is then given by
and the group law becomes
Because the underlying manifold of the Heisenberg group is a linear space, vectors in the Lie algebra can be canonically identified with vectors in the group. The Lie algebra of the Heisenberg group is given by the commutation relation
or written in terms of the Darboux basis
and all other commutators vanish.
It is also possible to define the group law in a different way but which yields a group isomorphic to the group we have just defined. To avoid confusion, we will use u instead of t, so a vector is given by
and the group law is
An element of the group
can then be expressed as a matrix
,
which gives a faithful matrix representation of H(V). The u in this formulation is related to t in our previous formulation by , so that the t value for the product comes to
,
as before.
The isomorphism to the group using upper triangular matrices relies on the decomposition of V into a Darboux basis, which amounts to a choice of isomorphism V ≅ U ⊕ U*. Although the new group law yields a group isomorphic to the one given higher up, the group with this law is sometimes referred to as the polarized Heisenberg group as a reminder that this group law relies on a choice of basis (a choice of a Lagrangian subspace of V is a polarization).
To any Lie algebra, there is a unique connected, simply connected Lie group G. All other connected Lie groups with the same Lie algebra as G are of the form G/N where N is a central discrete group in G. In this case, the center of H(V) is R and the only discrete subgroups are isomorphic to Z. Thus H(V)/Z is another Lie group which shares this Lie algebra. Of note about this Lie group is that it admits no faithful finite-dimensional representations; it is not isomorphic to any matrix group. It does however have a well-known family of infinite-dimensional unitary representations.
By the Poincaré–Birkhoff–Witt theorem, it is thus the free vector space generated by the monomials
where the exponents are all non-negative.
Consequently, consists of real polynomials
with the commutation relations
The algebra is closely related to the algebra of differential operators on with polynomial coefficients, since any such operator has a unique representation in the form
This algebra is called the Weyl algebra. It follows from abstract nonsense that the Weyl algebraWn is a quotient of . However, this is also easy to see directly from the above representations; viz. by the mapping
The application that led Hermann Weyl to an explicit realization of the Heisenberg group was the question of why the Schrödinger picture and Heisenberg picture are physically equivalent. Abstractly, the reason is the Stone–von Neumann theorem: there is a unique unitary representation with given action of the central Lie algebra element z, up to a unitary equivalence: the nontrivial elements of the algebra are all equivalent to the usual position and momentum operators.
Thus, the Schrödinger picture and Heisenberg picture are equivalent – they are just different ways of realizing this essentially unique representation.
The Heisenberg group also occurs in Fourier analysis, where it is used in some formulations of the Stone–von Neumann theorem. In this case, the Heisenberg group can be understood to act on the space of square integrable functions; the result is a representation of the Heisenberg groups sometimes called the Weyl representation.
As a sub-Riemannian manifold
The three-dimensional Heisenberg group H3(R) on the reals can also be understood to be a smooth manifold, and specifically, a simple example of a sub-Riemannian manifold.[7] Given a point p=(x,y,z) in R3, define a differential 1-form Θ at this point as
It can be seen that H is a subbundle of the tangent bundle TR3. A cometric on H is given by projecting vectors to the two-dimensional space spanned by vectors in the x and y direction. That is, given vectors and in TR3, the inner product is given by
The resulting structure turns H into the manifold of the Heisenberg group. An orthonormal frame on the manifold is given by the Lie vector fields
which obey the relations [X, Y] = Z and [X, Z] = [Y, Z] = 0. Being Lie vector fields, these form a left-invariant basis for the group action. The geodesics on the manifold are spirals, projecting down to circles in two dimensions. That is, if
is a geodesic curve, then the curve is an arc of a circle, and
with the integral limited to the two-dimensional plane. That is, the height of the curve is proportional to the area of the circle subtended by the circular arc, which follows by Stokes' theorem.
Heisenberg group of a locally compact abelian group
It is more generally possible to define the Heisenberg group of a locally compact abelian groupK, equipped with a Haar measure.[8] Such a group has a Pontrjagin dual, consisting of all continuous -valued characters on K, which is also a locally compact abelian group if endowed with the compact-open topology. The Heisenberg group associated with the locally compact abelian group K is the subgroup of the unitary group of generated by translations from K and multiplications by elements of .
In more detail, the Hilbert space consists of square-integrable complex-valued functions on K. The translations in K form a unitary representation of K as operators on :
for . So too do the multiplications by characters:
for . These operators do not commute, and instead satisfy
multiplication by a fixed unit modulus complex number.
So the Heisenberg group associated with K is a type of central extension of , via an exact sequence of groups:
More general Heisenberg groups are described by 2-cocyles in the cohomology group. The existence of a duality between and gives rise to a canonical cocycle, but there are generally others.
The Heisenberg group acts irreducibly on . Indeed, the continuous characters separate points[9] so any unitary operator of that commutes with them is an multiplier. But commuting with translations implies that the multiplier is constant.[10]
