Summary: We give a short overview of sub-Laplacians on Carnot groups starting from a result by \textit{R. Caccioppoli} [Rend. Accad. Sci. Fis. Mat., IV. Ser., Napoli 4, 49--54 (1934; Zbl 0010.16804)]. Then we show that sub-Laplacians on Carnot groups of step one arise in studying curvature problems for CR-manifolds. We restrict our presentation to the cases of the Webster-Tanaka curvature problem for the CR-sphere and of the Levi-curvature equation for strictly pseudoconvex functions.
