We compare the Grushin geometry to Euclidean geometry, through quasisymmetric parametrization, bilipschitz parametrization and bilipschitz embedding, highlighting the role of the exponents and the fractal nature of the singular hyperplanes in Grushin geometry. ∂x 2 j associated to the vector fields studied in this note have been the focus in [6], [12], [13], [17], and [18].
