We prove a Brunn-Minkowski type inequality for the first (nontrivial) Dirichlet eigenvalue of the weighted $p$-operator \[ -\Delta_{p,\gamma}u=-\text{div}(|\nabla u|^{p-2} \nabla u)+(x,\nabla u)|\nabla u|^{p-2}, \] where $p>1$, in the class…

We give simple new proofs of two well-known results for the Schr\"odinger operator: first, the Brunn--Minkowski inequality for Dirichlet eigenvalues and, second, the log-concavity of the first Dirichlet eigenfunction. Our proof of the first…

We prove that the first (nontrivial) Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator $$ L(u)=\Delta u-\langle\nabla u,x\rangle\,, $$ as a function of the domain, is convex with respect to the Minkowski addition, and we characterize…

In this paper, we prove that the first (positive) Dirichlet eigenvalue of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator \[ L(u)=\Delta u-(\nabla u,x), \] is strongly log-concave if the domain is bounded and convex, which improves the conclusion in [6].…

In this paper, we investigate the log-concavity of the kernel for the parabolic Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operator in a bounded, convex domain. Consequently, we get the preservation of the log-concavity of the initial datum by the related flow. As…

We prove that the principal eigenvalue of any fully nonlinear homogeneous elliptic operator which fulfills a very simple convexity assumption satisfies a Brunn-Minkowski type inequality on the class of open bounded sets in $\mathbb{R}^n$…

We develop a general framework to study concavity properties of weighted marginals of $\beta$-concave functions on $\mathbb{R}^n$ via local methods. As a concrete implementation of our approach, we obtain a functional version of the…

In this paper we obtain lower estimates of the first non-trivial eigenvalues of the degenerate $p$-Laplace operator, $p>2$, in a large class of non-convex domains. This study is based on applications of the geometric theory of composition…

In this paper we prove a Brunn-Minkowski inequality for the first Dirichlet eigenvalue of a Schr\"odinger type operator $\mathcal{H}_V:=-\operatorname{div}(A\nabla)+V$, where $V$ is convex and Kato decomposable, using the trace class…

The infinitesimal forms of the $L_{p}$-Brunn-Minkowski inequalities for variational functionals, such as the $q$-capacity, the torsional rigidity, and the first eigenvalue of the Laplace operator, are investigated for $p \geq 0$. These…

We give various estimates of the first eigenvalue of the $p$-Laplace operator on closed Riemannian manifold with integral curvature conditions.

The Brunn-Minkowski and Pr\'{e}kopa-Leindler inequalities admit a variety of proofs that are inspired by convexity. Nevertheless, the former holds for compact sets and the latter for integrable functions so it seems that convexity has no…

Motivated by the work of P. Lindqvist, we study eigenfunctions of the one-dimensional $p$-Laplace operator, the $\sin_p$ functions, and prove several inequalities for these and $p$-analogues of other trigonometric functions and their…

B\"or\"oczky, Lutwak, Yang and Zhang recently proved the log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality which is stronger than the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality for two origin-symmetric convex bodies in the plane. This paper establishes the…

By means of a family of counter-examples, it is shown that the Reilly upper bound for the first eigenvalue of the Laplace operator for a compact submanifold in Euclidean space does not work for $n$-dimensional compact spacelike submanifolds…

The paper is devoted to the study of some properties of the first eigenvalue of the anisotropic $p$-Laplace operator with Robin boundary condition involving a function $\beta$ which in general is not constant. In particular we obtain sharp…

In this paper, we study a first Dirichlet eigenfunction of the weighted $p$-Laplacian on a bounded domain in a complete weighted Riemannian manifold. By constructing gradient estimates for a first eigenfunction, we obtain some relationships…

On the class of log-concave functions on $\R^n$, endowed with a suitable algebraic structure, we study the first variation of the total mass functional, which corresponds to the volume of convex bodies when restricted to the subclass of…

We study the log-concavity of the first Dirichlet eigenfunction of the Laplacian for convex domains. For positively curved surfaces satisfying a condition involving the curvature and its second derivatives, we show that the first…

We study the connection between the concavity properties of a measure $\nu$ and the convexity properties of the associated relative entropy $D(\cdot \Vert \nu)$ along optimal transport. As a corollary we prove a new dimensional…
