Physics and Beyond people could do big things" are gone. But the people who had been there continue to speak to us through this book. The book was published first in German 1969, in English as "Physics and Beyond" (1971) and in French in 1972 (La partie et le tout). Physics and Beyond Physics and Beyond () is a book by Werner Heisenberg, the German physicist who discovered the uncertainty principle. It tells, from his point of view, the history of exploring atomic science and quantum mechanics in the first half of the 20th century. As the subtitle "Encounters and Conversations" suggests, the
Heisenberg group case is the theta representation of the Heisenberg group, of which the discrete case gives the theta function. 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. The three-dimensional Heisenberg group "H"(R) on the reals can also be understood to be a smooth manifold, and specifically, a simple example of a sub-Riemannian manifold.
