The Center of the Heisenberg Group Over a Field $F$ is Isomorphic to the Additive Group $F$
Problem 283
Let $F$ be a field and let
\[H(F)=\left\{\, \begin{bmatrix}
1 & a & b \\
0 &1 &c \\
0 & 0 & 1
\end{bmatrix} \quad \middle| \quad \text{ for any} a,b,c\in F\, \right\}\]
be the Heisenberg group over $F$.
(The group operation of the Heisenberg group is matrix multiplication.)
Determine which matrices lie in the center of $H(F)$ and prove that the center $Z\big(H(F)\big)$ is isomorphic to the additive group $F$.
