Abstract

There exist three nonequivalent left invariant Lorentzian metrics on the Heisenberg group , or equivalently, three nonequivalent Lorentzian inner products on the Heisenberg Lie algebra , denoted by , , and . We show that, in a specific case, is an algebraic Ricci soliton that is shrinking. Moreover, is an algebraic Ricci soliton only on the three-dimensional Heisenberg Lie algebra and it is shrinking. Finally, we show that is a steady algebraic Ricci soliton on for . However, for , is flat.
