Integral Heisenberg group algebra as a skew Laurent ring
ID: integral-heisenberg-group-algebra-as-a-skew-laurent-ring
For the Integer Heisenberg group, choose , and central . Every element has a unique form , and . The group algebra is therefore the displayed skew Laurent polynomial ring, with . The base is a commutative Laurent polynomial ring and an integral domain; the skew Hilbert basis theorem gives both-sided Noetherianity and the leading coefficient of a product proves that there are no zero divisors.
