Abstract

Let uu be the first Dirichlet Laplacian eigenfunction of a bounded convex set Ω\Omega in Rn\mathbb{R}^n. We strengthen the classical result by Brascamp-Lieb which asserts that uu is logconcave in Ω\Omega: we prove that, if uu is normalized so that its LL^\infty-norm does not exceed a threshold κ(Ω)<1\overline{\kappa} (\Omega)<1 depending explicitly on the diameter of the domain and on its principal frequency, the function (logu)1/2- ( - \log u ) ^{1/2} is concave in Ω\Omega.
