We will survey different methods of proving functional inequalities for hypoelliptic diffusions and the corresponding heat kernels. Some of these methods rely on geometric methods such as curvature-dimension inequalities (due to Baudoin-Garofalo), and some are probabilistic such as coupling, and finally some use structure theory and a Fourier transform on Lie groups. This is based on joint work with M. Asaad, F. Baudoin, B. Driver, T. Melcher, Ph. Mariano et al.
