ii
Integrating the two vector fields gives their complete flow maps:
ϕt​(x,y,z)=(xcost−ysint, xsint+ycost, etz),ψt​(x,y,z)=(etx,ety,etz).​
(1)
The first is a simultaneous rotation about the z-axis through angle t and a dilation by et in the z-direction. The second is an isotropic dilation about the origin. Both satisfy the group law for all real t and have inverse given by time −t. In particular ϕt​ is not a pure rotation unless restricted to the plane z=0.
