Integrating the two vector fields gives their complete flow maps:
The first is a simultaneous rotation about the z-axis through angle and a dilation by in the -direction. The second is an isotropic dilation about the origin. Both satisfy the group law for all real and have inverse given by time . In particular is not a pure rotation unless restricted to the plane .
