Abstract: We discuss integrability questions for some ODE systems. We study the structure of the universal covering Lie group G of the full connected isometry Lie group of the Heisenberg group endowed with a left-invariant sub-Riemannian metric and analyze left-invariant sub- Riemannian metrics on G. Special attention is paid to the sub-Riemannian metric on G for which geodesics can be expressed in elementary functions. We prove that the geodesic equations for every left-invariant sub-Riemannian metric on G with a two- or three-dimensional vector subspace V generating the Lie algebra and, in the case dim V = 3, containing the center of the Lie algebra are integrable in quadratures (but not in elementary functions when dim V = 2).
