Abstract: In this paper we study nonlinear problems for Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operators �egin{align*} A riangle v(x) + leftlangle Sx,

abla v(x) ight angle + f(v(x)) = 0,,xinmathbb{R}^d,,dgeqslant 2, end{align*} where the matrix $Ainmathbb{R}^{N,N}$ is diagonalizable and has eigenvalues with positive real part, the map $f:mathbb{R}^{N}ightarrowmathbb{R}^N$ is sufficiently smooth and the matrix $Sinmathbb{R}^{d,d}$ in the unbounded drift term is skew-symmetric. Nonlinear problems of this form appear as stationary equations for rotating waves in time-dependent reaction diffusion systems. We prove under appropriate conditions that every bounded classical solution $v_{star}$ of the nonlinear problem, which falls below a certain threshold at infinity, already decays exponentially in space, in the sense that $v_{star}$ belongs to an exponentially weighted Sobolev space $W_{heta}^{1,p}(mathbb{R}^d,mathbb{R}^N)$. Several extensions of this basic result are presented: to complex-valued systems, to exponential decay in higher order Sobolev spaces and to pointwise estimates. We also prove that every bounded classical solution $v$ of the eigenvalue problem �egin{align*} A riangle v(x) + leftlangle Sx,

abla v(x) ight angle + Df(v_{star}(x))v(x) = lambda v(x),,xinmathbb{R}^d,,dgeqslant 2, end{align*} decays exponentially in space, provided $mathrmRe,lambda$ lies to the right of the essential spectrum. As an application we analyze spinning soliton solutions which occur in the Ginzburg-Landau equation. Our results form the basis for investigating nonlinear stability of rotating waves in higher space dimensions and truncations to bounded domains.
