We derive sub-Riemannian Ricci curvature tensor for sub-Riemannian manifolds. We provide examples including the Heisenberg group, displacement group ($\textbf{SE}(2)$), and Martinet sub-Riemannian structure with arbitrary weighted volumes, in which we establish analytical bounds for sub-Riemannian curvature dimension bounds and log-Sobolev inequalities. Our derivation of Ricci curvature is based on generalized Gamma $z$ calculus and $z$--Bochner's formula, where $z$ stands for extra directions…
