Abstract

In this paper we determine all the simply connected non-degenerate CR Lie groups, which are flat with respect to the Cartan connection: in terms of associated Lie algebras, we assert that the only Cartan flat non-degenerate CR Lie algebras are su(2)\mathfrak{su}(2), sl(2,R)\mathfrak{sl}(2,\mathbb{R}), aff(R)R\mathfrak{aff}(\mathbb{R}) \oplus \mathbb{R}, and h2m+1\mathfrak{h}_{2m+1} with its modifications, where aff(R)\mathfrak{aff}(\mathbb{R}) is the affine Lie algebra of dimension 2 and h2m+1\mathfrak{h}_{2m+1} is the Heisenberg Lie algebra of dimension 2m+12m+1. Furthermore, we determine all the (flat and non-flat) non-degenerate CR structures on each of these Lie groups.
