Abstract

We study the Grassmann geometry of surfaces when the ambient space is a 3-dimensional unimodular Lie group with left invariant metric, that is, it is one of the 3-dimensional commutative Lie group, the 3-dimensional Heisenberg group, the groups of rigid motions on the Euclidean or the Minkowski planes, the special unitary group $SU(2)$, and the special real linear group $SL(2,\mathbb R)$.
