Abstract: We prove a Liouville type theorem for arbitrarily growing positive viscosity supersolutions of fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations in halfspaces. Precisely, let $M_{lambda,Lambda}^{-}$ be the Pucci's inf- operator, defined as the infimum of all linear uniformly elliptic operators with ellipticity constants $Lambdageqlambda>0$. Then, we prove that the inequality $M_{lambda,Lambda}^{-}(D^{2}u)+u^{p}leq0$ does not have any positive viscosity solution in a halfspace provided that $-1leqpleq(Lambda/lambdan+1)/(Lambda/lambdan-1)$, whereas positive solutions do exist if either $p<-1$ or $p>(Lambda/lambda(n-1)+2)/(Lambda/lambda(n-1))$. This will be accomplished by constructing explicit subsolutions of the homogeneous equation $M_{lambda,Lambda}^{-}(D^{2}u)=0$ and by proving a nonlinear version in a halfspace of the classical Hadamard three-circles Theorem for entire superharmonic functions.
