Definition

This group is defined as the unitriangular matrix group of degree three over the field of complex numbers. Explicitly, it is the following group of matrices under multiplication:

$\left\{{\begin{pmatrix}1&a&b\\0&1&c\\0&0&1\\\end{pmatrix}}\mid a,b,c\in \mathbb {C} \right\}$

Structures

• The group has the natural structure of an algebraic group over the field of complx numbers. As an algebraic group, it is a unipotent algebraic group.
• The group has the structure of a complex Lie group (and hence also a topological group). The underlying complex-analytic manifold is equivalent to $\mathbb {C} ^{3}$.
