We consider linear stable operators L of order 2s whose spectral measure is positive only in a relative open subset of the unit sphere, the aim being to present Liouville type results, in a half space, for the inequality -Lu ≥ u^p. In particular we will show that u≡0 is the only nonnegative solution for 1 ≤ p ≤ (N+s)/(N-s). The optimality of the exponent (N+s)/(N-s) will also be discussed. Based on a joint work with I. Birindelli and L. Du (Sapienza Università di Roma).
