Given a real-valued function cc defined on the cartesian product of a generic Carnot group $\G$ and the first layer V1V_1 of its Lie algebra, we introduce a notion of cc horizontal convex (cc H-convex) function on $\G$ as the supremum of a suitable family of affine functions; this family is defined pointwisely, and …

We prove that ideal sub-Riemannian manifolds (i.e., admitting no non-trivial abnormal minimizers) support interpolation inequalities for optimal transport. A key role is played by sub-Riemannian Jacobi fields and distortion coefficients, whose properties are remarkably different with respect to the Riemannian case. As …
