We consider the operator $\A u = \frac{1}{2} \Delta u - \langle DU, Du\right$, where $U $ is a convex real function defined in a convex open set $\O \subset \R^N$ and $\lim_{|x|\to \infty} U(x) = \lim_{ x \to \partial \O} U(x)$ $ =$ $ +\infty$. We study the realization of $\A $ in the spaces $C_{b}(\overline{\O})$, $C_{b}(\O)$ and $B_{b}(\O)$, and prove several properties of the associated Markov semigroup. In contrast with the case of bounded coefficients, elliptic equations and parabolic Cauchy problems such as (3) and (4) below are uniquely solvable in reasonable classes of functions, without imposing any boundary condition. We prove that the associated semigroup coincides with the transition semigroup of a stochastic variational inequality on $C_{b}(\overline{\O})$.
Keywords: Markov semigroups, stochastic variational inequalities, unbounded coefficients.
