We improve on and generalize a 1960 result of Maltsev. For a field F, we denote by the Heisenberg group with entries in F. Maltsev showed that there is a copy of F defined in , using existential formulas with an arbitrary non-commuting pair of elements as parameters. We show that F is interpreted in using computable formulas with no parameters. We give two proofs. The first is an existence proof, relying on a result of Harrison-Trainor, Melnikov, R. Miller, and Montalbán. This proof allows the possibility that the elements of F are represented by tuples in of no fixed arity. The second proof is direct, giving explicit finitary existential formulas that define the interpretation, with elements of F represented by triples in . Looking at what was used to arrive at this parameter-free interpretation of F in , we give general conditions sufficient to eliminate parameters from interpretations.
