Rank-one symmetric spaces have a generalization to a larger class of Lie groups that are one-dimensional extensions of nilpotent groups. By examining some metric properties of these symmetric spaces, we motivate and prove the existence of analogous metrics on Heintze spaces of Carnot-type. As an application of this construction, we see that Heintze spaces with H-metrics are of Iwasawa type, fail to have the Einstein condition, and admit a useful symmetric adjoint action. We also introduce the…

4-step Carnot spaces and the 2-stein condition
We consider the 2-stein condition on k-step Carnot spaces S. These spaces are a subclass in the class of solvable Lie groups of Iwasawa type of algebraic rank one and contain the homogeneous Einstein…
A Primer on Carnot Groups: Homogenous Groups, Carnot-Carathéodory Spaces, and Regularity of Their Isometries
Carnot groups are distinguished spaces that are rich of structure: they are those Lie groups equipped with a path distance that is invariant by left-translations of the group and admit automorphisms…
