Abstract: Using the curvature-dimension inequality proved in Part~I, we look at consequences of this inequality in terms of the interaction between the sub-Riemannian geometry and the heat semigroup $P_t$ corresponding to the sub-Laplacian. We give bounds for the gradient, entropy, a Poincar'e inequality and a Li-Yau type inequality. These results require that the gradient of $P_{t}f$ remains uniformly bounded whenever the gradient of $f$ is bounded and we give several sufficient conditions for this to hold.

Review text

The authors use the generalized curvature-dimension inequality on sub-Riemannian manifolds proved in the first part of this article [the authors, Math. Z. 282, No. 1--2, 99--130 (2016; Zbl 1361.53028)] in order to study the heat semigroup \(P_t\) corresponding to the sub-Laplacian. Under the condition that \(P_t f\) remains uniformly bounded whenever the gradient of \(f\) is bounded (several sufficient conditions for this to hold are given in the paper), they find bounds for the \(L^2\)-norm of the gradient and prove the Poincaré inequality, then they find entropy bounds and prove a Li-Yau type inequality.
