Furthermore, on stratified groups, we show that one of the obtained inequalities is equivalent to a Gross-type log-Sobolev inequality with the horizontal gradient. As a result, we obtain the Gross log-Sobolev inequality on general stratified groups but, <b>very interestingly</b>, with the Gaussian measure on the first stratum of the group. Moreover, our methods also yield weighted versions of the Gross log-Sobolev inequality. In particular, we also obtain new weighted Gross-type log-Sobolev inequalities on <span>({mathbb {R}}^n)</span> for arbitrary choices of homogeneous quasi-norms. As another consequence we derive the Nash inequalities on graded groups and an example application to the decay rate for the heat equations for sub-Laplacians on stratified groups.
