The crucial part is that we prove the boundedness of the fractional integral operator on variable exponent Lebesgue spaces on spaces of homogeneous type. We obtain the first order Poincare inequalities for vector fields satisfying Hormander＇s condition in variable non-isotropic Sobolev spaces. We also set up the higher order Poincare inequalities with variable exponents on stratified Lie groups. Moreover, we get the Sobolev inequalities in variable exponent Sobolev spaces on whole stratified Lie groups. These inequalities are important and basic tools in studying nonlinear subelliptic PDEs with variable exponents such as the p（x）-subLaplacian. Our results are only stated and proved for vector fields satisfying Hormander＇s condition, but they also hold for Grushin vector fields as well with obvious modifications.展开更多
