Sobolev, Poincaré, and isoperimetric inequalities for subelliptic diffusion operators satisfying a generalized curvature dimension inequality (Q2449574)

Summary: By adapting some ideas of \textit{M. Ledoux} [Bull. Sci. Math., II. Sér. 118, No. 6, 485--510 (1994; Zbl 0841.49024); Lect. Notes Math. 1648, 165--294 (1996; Zbl 0874.60005); Math. Res. Lett. 10, No. 5--6, 659--669 (2003; Zbl 1044.22006)] to a sub-Riemannian framework we study Sobolev, Poincaré and isoperimetric inequalities associated to subelliptic diffusion operators that satisfy the generalized curvature dimension inequality that was introduced by \textit{F. Baudoin} and \textit{N. Garofalo} in [``Curvature-dimension inequalities and Ricci lower bounds for sub-Riemannian manifolds with transverse symmetries'', Preprint, \url{arXiv:1101.3590}]. Our results apply in particular on all CR Sasakian manifolds whose horizontal Webster-Tanaka-Ricci curvature is nonnegative, all Carnot groups with step two, and wide subclasses of principal bundles over Riemannian manifolds whose Ricci curvature is nonnegative.
