Abstract
We consider the nonautonomous Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator in some weighted spaces of continuous functions in \(\mathbb{R}^{N}\). We prove sharp uniform estimates for the spatial derivatives of the associated evolution operator P s,t , which we use to prove optimal Schauder estimates for the solution to some nonhomogeneous parabolic Cauchy problems associated with the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator. We also prove that, for any t>s, the evolution operator P s,t is compact in the previous weighted spaces.
