Let $\M$ be a smooth connected manifold endowed with a smooth measure
$\mu$ and a smooth locally subelliptic diffusion operator $L$ which is
symmetric with respect to $\mu$. We assume that $L$ satisfies a
generalized curvature dimension inequality as introduced by
Baudoin-Garofalo \cite{BG1}. Our goal is to discuss functional
inequalities for $\mu$ like the Poincar\'e inequality, the log-Sobolev
inequality or the Gaussian logarithmic isoperimetric inequality.
