摘要

Let λj(K)\lambda_j(K) be the jjth Dirichlet eigenvalue of a convex body KK. It is well known that λ1\lambda_1 satisfies a Brunn--Minkowski inequality: Kλ1(K)1/2K \mapsto \lambda_1(K)^{-1/2} is concave on the family of convex bodies. We show that no analogous statement holds for higher eigenvalues. More precisely, for any j2j \geq 2 and N2N \geq 2, if K(fλj)(K)K \mapsto (f \circ \lambda_j)(K) is concave on the family of convex bodies in RN\mathbb{R}^N for some function f:(0,)Rf: (0, \infty) \to \mathbb{R}, then ff must be constant.
