 SubRiemannian Geometry on the Sphere $\mathbb{S}^3$ We discuss the subRiemannian geometry induced by two noncommutative vector fields which are left invariant on the Lie group $\mathbb{S}^3$.

 Geodesics in a Manifold with Heisenberg Group as Boundary The Heisenberg group is considered as the boundary of a manifold. A class of hypersurfaces in this manifold can be regarded as copies of the Heisenberg group. The properties of geodesics in the interior and on the hypersurfaces are worked out in detail. These properties are strongly related to those of the Heisenberg group. Keywords:Heisenberg group, Hamiltonian mechanics, geodesicCategories:53C22, 53C17

 The Heat Kernel and Green's Function on a Manifold with Heisenberg Group as Boundary We study the Riemannian Laplace-Beltrami operator $L$ on a Riemannian manifold with Heisenberg group $H_1$ as boundary. We calculate the heat kernel and Green's function for $L$, and give global and small time estimates of the heat kernel. A class of hypersurfaces in this manifold can be regarded as approximations of $H_1$. We also restrict $L$ to each hypersurface and calculate the corresponding heat kernel and Green's function. We will see that the heat kernel and Green's function converge to the heat kernel and Green's function on the boundary. Categories:35H20, 58J99, 53C17
