Abstract: This work concerns the non-flat metrics on the Heisenberg Lie group of dimension three $Hei{s}_3(RR)$ and the bi-invariant metrics on the solvable Lie groups of dimension four. On $Hei{s}_3(RR)$ we prove that the property of the metric being naturally reductive is equivalent to the property of the center being non-degenerate. These metrics are Lorentzian algebraic Ricci solitons. We start with the indecomposable Lie groups of dimension four admitting bi-invariant metrics and which act on $Hei{s}_3(RR)$ by isometries and we finally study some geometrical features on these spaces.
