设H2是R5上的Heisenberg群, D是一个赋予次洛伦兹度量的左不变括号生成分布.设可达到集I+(0)(J+(0))是原点0的时间(因果)未来.该文证明了I+(0)是一个开集以及J+(0)是一个闭集.这个结果类似于洛伦兹几何上的结果.
Let H2 be the Heisenberg group in R5 and D be a bracket generating left invariant distribution with a Lorentzian metric. Let reachable sets I+ (0)(resp.J+(0)) be the chronologi- cal(resp.causal) future of origin. In this paper, we prove that I+ (0) is open and J+ (0) is closed for Heisenberg group H2 with sub-Lorentzian metric, which are similar results as in Lorentzian manifolds.
