Abstract: The notion of

G a m m a

-symmetric space is a natural generalization of the classical notion of symmetric space based on

z_{2}

-grading of Lie algebras. In our case, we consider homogeneous spaces

G / H

such that the Lie algebra

g

of

G

admits a

G a m m a

-grading where

G a m m a

is a finite abelian group. In this work we study Riemannian metrics and Lorentzian metrics on the Heisenberg group

m a t h b b H_{3}

adapted to the symmetries of a

G a m m a

-symmetric structure on

m a t h b b H_{3}

. We prove that the classification of

z_{2}^{2}

-symmetric Riemannian and Lorentzian metrics on

m a t h b b H_{3}

corresponds to the classification of left invariant Riemannian and Lorentzian metrics, up to isometries. This gives examples of non-symmetric Lorentzian homogeneous spaces.
