摘要

In 1978 E. De Giorgi formulated a conjecture concerning the one-dimensional symmetry of bounded solutions to the elliptic equation Delta u = F' (u), which are monotone in some direction. In this paper we prove the analogous statement for the equation Delta u - < x, del u > u = F' (u), where the Laplacian is replaced by the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator. Our theorem holds without any restriction on the dimension of the ambient space, and this allows us to obtain an similar result in infinite dimensions by a limit procedure.
