Abstract

Mixing (of all orders) rank-one actions $T$ of the Heisenberg group ${H}_{3} ( \mathbb{R} )$ are constructed. The restriction of $T$ to the center of ${H}_{3} ( \mathbb{R} )$ is simple and commutes only with $T$. Mixing Poisson and mixing Gaussian actions of ${H}_{3} ( \mathbb{R} )$ are also constructed. A rigid weakly mixing rank-one action $T$ is constructed such that the restriction of $T$ to the center of ${H}_{3} ( \mathbb{R} )$ is not isomorphic to its inverse.
