Abstract

Let ${\mathbb{H}}^{2n+1}$ be the (2n+1)-dimensional Heisenberg group equipped with a left-invariant metric. In this paper we study the Gaussian curvatures of the geodesic spheres and the volumes of geodesic balls in ${\mathbb{H}}^{2n+1}$ .

Keywords

Heisenberg group; geodesic sphere; geodesic ball;
