Abstract
We introduce a class of non-commutative Heisenberg-like infinite-dimensional Lie groups based on an
abstract Wiener space. The Ricci curvature tensor for these groups is computed and shown to be bounded.
Brownian motion and the corresponding heat kernel measures, {νt }t>0, are also studied.We show that these
heat kernel measures admit: (1) Gaussian like upper bounds, (2) Cameron–Martin type quasi-invariance
results, (3) good Lp-bounds on the corresponding Radon–Nikodym derivatives, (4) integration by parts
formulas, and (5) logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. The last three results heavily rely on the boundedness
of the Ricci tensor.
