We consider smooth oriented hypersurfaces in 2-step nilpotent Lie groups with a left invariant metric. We derive an expression for the Laplacian of the Gauss map for such hypersurfaces in the general case and in some particular cases. In the case of CMC-hypersurface in the 2m+1-dimensional Heisenber...
