Abstract

We consider the Dirichlet problem λULU=F\lambda U - {\mathcal{L}}U= F in \mathcal{O}, U=0 on O\partial \mathcal{O}. Here FL2(O,μ)F\in L^2(\mathcal{O}, \mu) where μ\mu is a nondegenerate centered Gaussian measure in a Hilbert space XX, L\mathcal{L} is an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator, and O\mathcal{O} is an open set in XX with good boundary. We address the problem whether the weak solution UU belongs to the Sobolev space W2,2(O,μ)W^{2,2}(\mathcal{O}, \mu). It is well known that the question has positive answer if O=X\mathcal{O} = X; if OX\mathcal{O} \neq X we give a sufficient condition in terms of geometric properties of the boundary O\partial \mathcal{O}. The results are quite different with respect to the finite dimensional case, for instance if \mathcal{O} is the ball centered at the origin with radius rr we prove that UW2,2(O,μ)U\in W^{2,2}(\mathcal{O}, \mu) only for small rr.
