Abstract: We find geodesics, shortest arcs, cut loci, first conjugate loci, distances between arbitrary elements for some left-invariant sub-Riemannian metrics on the Lie groups SU(2)imesmathbbR and SO(3)imesmathbbR.


The author considers the Lie groups \(\mathrm{SU}(2)\times\mathbb{R}\) and \(\mathrm{SO}(3)\times\mathbb{R}\) and studies their sub-Riemannian geometry. More precisely, she obtains geodesics, shortest arcs, cut loci, first conjugate loci, and distances between arbitrary elements for certain left-invariant sub-Riemannian metrics in these Lie groups.
