We prove, with a purely analytic technique, a one-side Liouville theorem for a class of Ornstein--Uhlenbeck operators ${\mathcal L_0}$ in $\mathbb{R}^N$, as a consequence of a Liouville theorem at "$t=- \infty$" for the corresponding…

Recall that if $(M^n,g)$ satisfies $\mathrm{Ric}\geq 0$, then the Li-Yau Differential Harnack Inequality tells us for each nonnegative $f:M\to \mathbb{R}^+$, with $f_t$ its heat flow, that $\frac{\Delta f_t}{f_t}-\frac{|\nabla…
