Abstract: We obtain a new Liouville comparison principle for weak solutions $(u,v)$ of semilinear parabolic second-order partial differential inequalities of the form ${\displaystyle }$u_t -{mathcal L}u- |u|^{q-1}ugeq v_t -{mathcal L}v- |v|^{q-1}v (*)${\displaystyle }$ in the whole space $mathbbE=mathbbRimesmathbb{R}^n$. Here, $ngeq1$, $q>0$ and ${\displaystyle }$ {mathcal L}=sumlimits_{i,j=1}^nfrac{partial}{{partial}x_i}left [ a_{ij}(t, x) frac{partial}{{partial}x_j} ight],${\displaystyle }$ where $a_{ij}(t,x)$, $i,j=1,dots,n$, are functions that are defined, measurable and locally bounded in $mathbbE$, and such that $a_{ij}(t,x)=a_{ji}(t,x)$ and ${\displaystyle }$ sum_{i,j=1}^n a_{ij}(t,x)xi_ixi_jgeq 0 ${\displaystyle }$ for almost all $(t,x)inmathbbE$ and all $xiinmathbb{R}^n$. We show that the critical exponents in the Liouville comparison principle obtained, which are responsible for the non-existence of non-trivial (i.e., such that $uotequivv$) weak solutions to (*) in the whole space $mathbbE$, depend on the behavior of the coefficients of the operator $mathcalL$ at infinity and coincide with those obtained for solutions of (*) in the half-space ${mathbbR}_{+}imes{mathbbR}^n$. As direct corollaries we obtain new Liouville-type theorems for non-negative weak solutions $u$ of the inequality (*) in the whole space $mathbbE$ in the case when $vequiv0$. All the results obtained are new and sharp.
