Abstract

We prove that the canonical sub-Laplacian on SU(2)SU(2) admits a uniform modified log-Sobolev inequality for all its matrix-valued functions, independent of the matrix dimension. This is the first example of sub-Laplacian that a matrix-valued modified log-Sobolev inequality has been obtained. We also show that on Lie groups, the heat kernel measure ptp_t at time tt admits matrix-valued modified log-Sobolev constants of order O(t1)O(t^{-1}).
