Abstract

We obtain Liouville type theorems for degenerate elliptic equations with a drift term and a potential. The diffusion is governed by H¨ormander operators. We show that the conditions imposed on the coefficients of the operator are optimal. Indeed, when they fail we prove that infinitely many bounded solutions exist.
