To understand the algebraic structure of Carnot groups, it is useful to study some examples explicitly. Carnot groups appear in several mathematical contexts. In this work, the authors provide a list of low-dimensional stratified groups, express their Lie product, and present a basis of left-invariant vector fields, together with their respective left-invariant 1-forms, a basis of right-invariant vector fields, and some other properties. The authors exhibit all stratified groups in dimension up to 7 and also study some free-nilpotent groups in dimension up to 14.
