Abstract: We investigate the validity and failure of Liouville theorems and Harnack inequalities for parabolic and elliptic operators with low regularity coefficients. We are particularly interested in operators of the form $partia{l}_t-Delta+bcdotabla$ and $-Delta+bcdotabla$ with a divergence-free drift $b$. We prove the Liouville theorem and Harnack inequality when $bin{L}_{i}nfty(BM{O}^{-1})$ resp. $binBM{O}^{-1}$ and provide a counterexample to such results demonstrating sharpness of our conditions on the drift. Our results generalize to divergence-form operators with an elliptic symmetric part and a BMO skew-symmetric part. We also prove the existence of a modulus of continuity for solutions to the elliptic problem in two dimensions, depending on the non-scale-invariant norm $|b{|}_{L_1}$. In three dimensions, on the other hand, bounded solutions with $L_1$ drifts may be discontinuous.
