| Jun 20, 2011 at 15:50 | comment | added | LSpice | Is a $p$-Sylow subgroup of $\operatorname{GL}_n(\mathbb F_p)$ for $n \ne 2, 3$ still called a Heisenberg group? I tend to think of a Heisenberg group over $\mathbb F$ as being, in particular, in bijection with $V \times \mathbb F$ for some symplectic space $V$, so it has the wrong cardinality. | |
