    The Grushin operator featured in the title of the paper is the differential operator with mixed homogeneity NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\Delta_G\equiv {\partial^2\over\partial t^2}+ 4t^2{\partial^2\over\partial x^2}.NEWLINE\]NEWLINE The purpose of the paper is to demonstrate the possible complexity of the geometric symmetry associated with operators defined on Lie groups. Use is made of the underlying \(\text{SL}(2,R)\) symmetry belonging to \(\Delta_G\) to compute the sharp constant for the associated \(L^2\) Sobolev inequality with the help of hyperbolic symmetry and conformal geometry.
