Abstract

We will investigate geodesics in 2-step Carnot groups. And, by applying this, we will prove that every isometry of 2-step Carnot group $N$ fixing the identity is an automorphism of Lie group $N$. Our argument will be elementary. Finally, we will see that the same conclusion holds for general Carnot groups.
