We study the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operator and the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck semigroup in an open convex subset of an infinite-dimensional separable Banach space $X$. This is done by finite dimensional approximation. In particular we prove logarithmic-Sobolev and Poincaré inequalities, and thanks to these inequalities we deduce spectral properties of the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck operator.
