Abstract
The notion of -symmetric space is a natural generalization of the classical notion of symmetric space based on -grading of Lie algebras. In our case, we consider homogeneous spaces such that the Lie algebra of admits a -grading where is a finite abelian group. In this work we study Riemannian metrics and Lorentzian metrics on the Heisenberg group adapted to the symmetries of a -symmetric structure on . We prove that the classification of -symmetric Riemannian and Lorentzian metrics on corresponds to the classification of left invariant Riemannian and Lorentzian metrics, up to isometries. This gives examples of non-symmetric Lorentzian homogeneous spaces.
