Abstract
The hot spots conjecture asserts that for any convex bounded domain in , the first non-trivial Neumann eigenfunction of the Laplace operator in attains its maximum at the boundary. We construct counterexamples to the conjecture for all sufficiently large values of . The construction is based on an extension of the conjecture from convex sets to log-concave measures.
