Let ${\mathbb{H}}_3$ be the 3-dimensional Heisenberg group equipped with a left-invariant metric. In this paper we calculate the volumes of geodesic balls in ${\mathbb{H}}_3$. Let $B_e(R)$ be the geodesic ball with center e (the identity of ${\mathbb{H}}_3$) and radius R in ${\mathbb{H}}_3$. Then, the volume of $B_e(R)$ is given by $$Vol(B_e(R))={\frac{\pi}{6}}\{-16R+(R^2+6){\sin}\;R+(R^3+10R){\cos}\;R+(R^4+12R^2){\int\nolimits_0^R}\;{\frac{{\sin}\;t}{t}}dt\}$$.

The Iwasawa decomposition NAK of the Lie group G = SO₀(2, 1) with a left invariant metric produces Riemannian submersions G → N\G, G → A\G, G → K\G, and G → NA\G. For each of these, we calculate the curvature of the base space and the lifting of a simple closed curve to the total space G. Especially in the first case, the base space has a constant curvature 0; the holonomy displacement along a (null-homotopic) simple closed curve in the base space is determined only by the Euclidean area of the region surrounded by the curve.

We study a class of left-invariant pseudo-Riemannian Sasaki metrics on solvable Lie groups, which can be characterized by the property that the zero level set of the moment map relative to the action of some one-parameter subgroup {exp tX} is a normal nilpotent subgroup commuting with {exp tX}, and X is not lightlike. We characterize this geometry in terms of the Sasaki reduction and its pseudo-Kähler quotient under the action generated by the Reeb vector field. We classify pseudo-Riemannian Sasaki solvmanifolds of this type in dimension 5 and those of dimension 7 whose Kähler reduction in the above sense is abelian.
