      Summary: We first construct all homomorphisms from the Heisenberg group to the 3-sphere. Also, defining a topology on the space of these homomorphisms, we consider it as a topological space. Next, using the kernels of homomorphisms, we define an equivalence relation on this topological space. We finally show that the quotient space is a topological group which is isomorphic to \(\mathbb S^1\).
