Let IH_n be the (2n+1) -dimensional Heisenberg group and let L_α and be the sublaplacian and central element of the Lie algebra of IH_n respectively. Forα=0 denote by L₀=L the Heisenberg Laplacian and let K ∈Aut(IH_n) be a compact subgroup of Au-tomorphism of IH_n. In this paper, we give some properties of the Heisenberg Laplacian and prove that L and T generate the K-invariant universal enveloping algebra, U(h_n)^k of IH_n.
