Abstract

In this paper we extend a result for representations of the Additive group GaG_a given in [3] to the Heisenberg group H1H_1. Namely, if pp is greater than 2d then all dd-dimensional characteristic pp representations for H1H_1 can be factored into commuting products of representations, with each factor arising from a representation of the Lie algebra of H1H_1, one for each of the the representation's Frobenius layers. In this sense, for a fixed dimension and large enough pp, all representations for H1H_1 look generically like representations for direct powers of it over a field of characteristic zero. The reader may consult chapter 13 of [1] for a fuller account of what follows.
