contents In this paper we revisit nonnegative kernels in the first Heisenberg group $\He$, and in particular we further study the family $$K_α(x,y,z)= \frac{|z|^{α/2}}{\|(x,y,z)\|_{H}^{α+1}}, \quad α>0,$$ which was introduced in \cite{CL}. We first show that if $E \subset \He$ is a $1$-Ahlfors regular set and the SIO associated with the kernel $K_4$ is $L^2(E)$-bounded, then $E$ is contained in a $1$-Ahlfors regular curve. Combined with the converse implication which was obtained by Fässler and Orponen in \cite{FO1dim}, our result provides a characterization of uniform $1$-rectifiability in the Heisenberg group via the $L^2$-boundedness of a singular integral. We also give a negative answer to a question of Fässler and Orponen from \cite{FO1dim} by showing that for any $α\in (0,2)$ there exists a $1$-Ahlfors regular curve $E_a$ such that the operators associated with the kernels $K_α$ are not bounded in $L^2(E_α)$. We finally show that there exists a $1$-Ahlfors regular and purely $1$-unrectifiable set $E$ such that the singular integral associated with $|x| \|(x,y,z)\|^{-2}$ is $L^2(E)$ -bounded.
