Abstract:
We consider the free nilpotent Lie algebra
L with 2 generators, of step 4, and the corresponding connected simply connected Lie group G, with the aim to study the left-invariant sub-Riemannian structure on G defined by the generators of L as an orthonormal frame.
We compute two vector field models of L by polynomial vector fields in R8, and find an infinitesimal symmetry of the sub-Riemannian structure. Further,
we compute explicitly
the product rule in G and
the right-invariant frame on G.
Key words and phrases:
sub-Riemannian geometry, Carnot group.
