On the Existence of a Codimension 1 Completely Integrable Totally Geodesic Distribution on a Pseudo-Riemannian Heisenberg Group

In this note we prove that the Heisenberg group with a left-invariant pseudo-Riemannian metric admits a completely integrable totally geodesic distribution of codimension 1. This is on the contrary to the Riemannian case, as it was proved by T. Hangan.
