[For the entire collection see Zbl 0695.00014)]. Let \(V\) be an \(n\)-dimensional vector space over a local or finite field \(k\), \(\text{char }k\neq 2\). The authors introduce the Grassmann-Heisenberg group, which is the unipotent subgroup \(U(V)=1+\oplus_{i\geq 1}\wedge^ iV\) of the multiplicative group \((\wedge V)^ \times\) of the Grassmann algebra \(\wedge V\) of \(V\). A ``geometric decomposition of \(U(V)\) as the semidirect product of the commutative factors is obtained, which makes it possible to apply the ``Mackey machinery, to describe the unitary irreducible representations and to obtain an analogue of the Stone-von Neumann theorem. The generalized Schrödinger representations are also investigated, and ``the true representations of \(SL(V)\cong SL_ n(k)\) of dimension \(q^{2^{n-2}}\) (where \(k\) is a finite field of cardinality \(q\), and \(n\) is even) are constructed.
