For the usual action of the Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}_n$ on the Siegel domain $D_{n+1}$ ($n \geq 1$) denote by $\mathcal{T}^{(\lambda)}(L^\infty(D_{n+1})^{\mathbb{H}_n})$ the $C^*$-algebra acting on the weighted Bergman space $\mathcal{A}^2_\lambda(D_{n+1})$ ($\lambda > -1$) generated by Toeplitz operators whose symbols belong to $L^\infty(D_{n+1})^{\mathbb{H}_n}$ (essentially bounded and $\mathbb{H}_n$-invariant). We prove that $\mathcal{T}^{(\lambda)}(L^\infty(D_{n+1})^{\mathbb{H}_n})$ is commutative and isomorphic to $\mathrm{VSO}(\mathbb{R}_+)$ (very slowly oscillating functions on $\mathbb{R}_+$), for every $\lambda > -1$ and $n \geq 1$. We achieve this by Lie theory and symplectic geometry methods. We also compute the moment map of the $\mathbb{H}_n$-action and some of its subgroups. A decomposition of the Bergman spaces $\mathcal{A}^2_\lambda(D_{n+1})$ as direct integrals of Fock spaces is also obtained and used to explain our main results.
