论文摘要
本文是本科研究项目的一部分。我们讨论了Heisenberg Group H1,这是三维空间R3,配备了两个等效度量标准之一,即Koranyi-和Carnot-Caratheodory Metric。我们表明,两个指标的曲线长度概念一致,并且存在最短的曲线,即所谓的大地测量学。
This paper is part of an undergraduate research project. We discuss the Heisenberg group H1, the three-dimensional space R3 equipped with one of two equivalent metrics, the Koranyi- and Carnot- Caratheodory metric. We show that the notion of length of curves for both metrics coincide, and that shortest curves, so-called geodesics, exist.
