Abstract
Does a minimal harmonic function remain minimal when it is viewed as a parabolic function? The question is answered for a class of long thin semi-infinite tubes of variable width and minimal harmonic functions corresponding to the boundary point of ``at infinity.'' Suppose is the width of the tube units away from its endpoint and is a Lipschitz function. The answer to the question is affirmative if and only if . If the test fails, there exist parabolic -transforms of space-time Brownian motion in with infinite lifetime which are not time-homogenous.
