As applications of our results to the hyperbolic space ${\\bf H}^N$ we have: $\\bullet$ The first Dirichlet eigenfunction on a ball in ${\\bf H}^N$ is strictly positive power concave; $\\bullet$ Let $\\Gamma$ be the heat kernel on ${\\bf H}^N$. Then $\\Gamma(\\cdot,y,t)$ is strictly log-concave on ${\\bf H}^N$ for $y\\in {\\bf H}^N$ and $t>0$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-02-24T10:13:47.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "58J32", "52A55" ], "keywords": [ "parabolic boundary value problems", "rotationally symmetric domains", "study power concavity", "first dirichlet eigenfunction", "symmetric solutions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
