Summary: We prove the correspondence between the solutions of the sub-elliptic heat equation in a Carnot group \(\mathbb G\) and the gradient flows of the relative entropy functional in the Wasserstein space of probability measures on \(\mathbb G\). Our result completely answers a question left open in a previous paper by N. Juillet, where the same correspondence was proved for \(\mathbb G = \mathbb H^n\), the \(n\)-dimensional Heisenberg group.
