Explicit geodesic graphs on some H-type groups
Dušek, Zdeněk
Similarity:
A homogeneous Riemannian manifold is called a “g.o. space” if every geodesic on arises as an orbit of a one-parameter subgroup of . Let be such a “g.o. space”, and an -invariant vector subspace of such that . A is a map such that is a geodesic for every . The author calculates explicitly such geodesic graphs for certain special 2-step nilpotent Lie groups. More precisely, he deals with “generalized Heisenberg groups” (also known as “H-type groups”) whose center has...
