Gauges, or equivalently, left-invariant pseudodistances on the Heisenberg group, have been used for a long time. It was, however, only in 1978 that Cygan [3] noted that one of these natural gauges actually induces a distance, i.e., a left-invariant metric space structure on the group. Peter Greiner

โฆ Synopsis
I n 1960 F. HAHN proved an embedding theorem for compact extensions of flows. Here we present some analogous results for non-compact extensions. We get our best results for (non-compact) extensions of compact flows, and show that even with the compactness assumption the conclusion cannot be as strong as in HAH"s setting. As examples of groups to which these results can be applied, we consider a group formulation Buggested by L. AUSLANDER (which we prove generalizes only a little H. REITER'S groups of HEISENBERG type). Here we encounter some distal flows and corresponding ELLIS groups.

## Abstract A __g.o. space__ is a homogeneous Riemannian manifold __M__ = (__G/H, g__) on which every geodesic is an orbit of a oneโparameter subgroup of the group __G__. (__G__ acts transitively on __M__ as a group of isometries.) Each g.o. space gives rise to certain rational maps called โgeodesi

It is proved that if a group of unitary operators and a local semigroup of isometries satisfy the Weyl commutation relations then they can be extended to groups of unitary operators which also satisfy the commutation relations. As an application a result about the extension of a class of locally def
