Geodesics in the Heisenberg Group

Abstract: Abstract:We provide a new and elementary proof for the structure of geodesics in the Heisenberg group H n . The proof is based on a new isoperimetric inequality for closed curves in R n . We also prove that the CarnotCarathéodory metric is real analytic away from the center of the group.

“…Since the formula (4.1) for the distance holds also in higher Heisenberg groups H N (as proved in [13]), the same proof works also in that case; however, for simplicity we presented the proof for H 1 .…”

“…A key assumption will be that the unit ball with respect to a distance d is symmetric in the horizontal directions, as is clearly the case for the distance d ∞ . This is known for the CC distance only in a few cases, such as Heisenberg groups, see [25] or [15,Corollary 3.2].…”

“…We choose to work primarily with the box distance due to the fact that the unit ball with respect to this distance is symmetric in the horizontal directions; this will play a key role in the proofs in Section 4. This is known for the CC distance only in a few cases, such as Heisenberg groups, see [19] or [10,Corollary 3.2].…”
