Weighted Hardy's inequality and the Kolmogorov equation perturbed by an inverse-square potential

In this article, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a weak solution of a Kolmogorov equation perturbed by an inverse-square potential. More precisely, using a weighted Hardy's inequality with respect to an invariant measure μ, we show the existence of the semigroup solution of the parabolic problem corresponding to a generalized Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operator perturbed by an inverse-square potential in L ²(? ^N ,?μ). In the case of the classical Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operator we obtain nonexistence of positive exponentially bounded solutions of the parabolic problem if the coefficient of the inverse-square function is too large.
