Abstract: We consider the semilinear heat equation ut=Deltau+up on mathbbRN. Assuming that Nge3 and p is greater than the Sobolev critical exponent (N+2)/(N2), we examine entire solutions (classical solutions defined for all tinmathbbR) and ancient solutions (classical solutions defined on (infty,T) for some T<infty). We prove a new Liouville-type theorem saying that if p is greater than the Lepin exponent pL:=1+6/(N10) (pL=infty if Nle10), then all positive bounded radial entire solutions are steady states. The theorem is not valid without the assumption of radial symmetry; in other ranges of supercritical p it is known not to be valid even in the class of radial solutions. Our other results include classification theorems for nonstationary entire solutions (when they exist) and ancient solutions, as well as some applications in the theory of blowup of solutions.
