Abstract: By adapting a technique of Molchanov, we obtain the heat kernel asymptotics at the sub-Riemannian cut locus, when the cut points are reached by an $r$-dimensional parametric family of optimal geodesics. We apply these results to the bi-Heisenberg group, that is, a nilpotent left-invariant sub-Rieman-nian structure on $mathbb{R}^5$ depending on two real parameters $alph{a}_1$ and $alph{a}_2$. We develop some results about its geodesics and heat kernel associated to its sub-Laplacian and we illuminate some interesting geometric and analytic features appearing when one compares the isotropic ($alph{a}_1=alph{a}_2$) and the non-isotropic cases ($alph{a}_{1}eqalph{a}_2$). In particular, we give the exact structure of the cut locus, and we get the complete small-time asymptotics for its heat kernel.
