Streszczenie
In this paper we study properties of the Heisenberg sub-Lorentzian metric on $\mathbb{R}^{3}$. We compute the conjugate locus of the origin, and prove that the sub-Lorentzian distance in this case is differentiable on some open set. We also prove the existence of regular non-Hamiltonian geodesics, a phenomenon which does not occur in the sub-Riemannian case.
