We prove a Harnack inequality for the positive solutions of ultraparabolic equations of the type L u + V u= 0, where L is a linear second order hypoelliptic operator and V belongs to a class of functions of Stummel-Kato type. We also obtain the existence of a Green function and an uniqueness result for the Cauchy-Dirichlet problem.
