摘要

Carnot groups are specific examples of Carnot-Carathéodory spaces. They are simply connected nilpotent Lie groups whose Lie algebras admit particular gradings: stratifications. The polarizations correspond to the first layers of stratifications with norms on them. Every such sub-Finsler Lie group is self-similar with respect to its Carnot-Carathéodory metric. Specifically, there is a natural family of metric dilations.
