Abstract

Let S\mathcal{S} be a surface of revolution embedded in the Heisenberg group H\mathcal{H}. A revolution ring Ra,b(S)R_{a,b}(\mathcal{S}), 0<a<b0<a<b, is a domain in H\mathcal{H} bounded by two dilated images of S\mathcal{S}, with dilation factors aa and bb, respectively. We prove that if S\mathcal{S} is subject to certain geometric conditions, then the modulus of the family Γ\Gamma of horizontal boundary connecting curves inside Ra,b(S)R_{a,b}(\mathcal{S}) is Mod(Γ)=π2(log(b/a))3. {\rm Mod}(\Gamma)=\pi^2(\log(b/a))^{-3}. Our result applies for many interesting surfaces, e.g., the Kor\'anyi metric sphere, the Carnot-Carath\'eodory metric sphere and the bubble set.
