Abstract
We show that a field is model complete (in the language of rings) if and only if the Heisenberg group is model complete (in the language of groups). To show that, we extend Levchuk's result about automorphisms of to the case of monomorphisms . We also show that does not have quantifier elimination and discuss its (non-)bi-interpretability with .
