Sub-Riemannian structures on 3D lie groups

We give a complete classification of left-invariant sub-Riemannian structures on three-dimensional Lie groups in terms of the basic differential invariants. As a consequence, we explicitly find a sub-Riemannian isometry between the nonisomorphic Lie groups SL (2) and A + ( )  × S 1 , where A + ( ) d...

Zusammenfassung:We give a complete classification of left-invariant sub-Riemannian structures on three-dimensional Lie groups in terms of the basic differential invariants. As a consequence, we explicitly find a sub-Riemannian isometry between the nonisomorphic Lie groups SL (2) and A + ( )  × S 1 , where A + ( ) denotes the group of orientation preserving affine maps on the real line.
