    Abstract

    We prove essential self-adjointness of Kolmogorov operators corresponding to gradient systems with potentials U such that DU is not square integrable with respect the invariant measure (irregular potentials). An application is given to the Cahn-Hilliard-Cook equation in dimension one. In this case the spectral gap is proved for the correspondig semigroup. We also obtain a log-Sobolev inequality.
