Abstract: We study a one-parameter family of nonisomorphic solvable Lie groups, which, when equipped with canonical left-invariant metrics, ${\displaystyle }$ds^2=e^{-2z}dx^2+e^{2alpha z}dy^2+dz^2${\displaystyle }$ becomes an interpolation from a model of the Sol geometry to a model of Hyperbolic Space, with a stop at $mathbb{H}^{2}imesmathbbR$. These Lie groups are also Bianchi groups of Type VI with orthogonal coordinates. As a continuation of joint work with Richard Schwartz on Sol, we primarily analyze those Lie groups in our interpolation with some positive sectional curvature. Our main result is a characterization of the cut locus at the identity of the group that maximizes scalar curvature.
