Abstract
We introduce a new condition on elliptic operators which ensures the validity of the Liouville property, i.e., all smooth bounded solutions to on are constant. Such condition is sharp when . We extend our Liouville theorem to more general second order operators in non-divergence form assuming a Cordes type condition.
