Concavity and Dirichlet heat flow (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
In a convex domain of Euclidean space, the Dirichlet heat flow transmits log-concavity from the initial time to any time. I first introduce a notion of generalized concavity and specify a concavity preserved by the Dirichlet heat flow. Then I show that in a totally convex domain of a Riemannian manifold, if some concavity is preserved by the Dirichlet heat flow, then the sectional curvature must vanish on the domain. The first part is based on joint work with Kazuhiro Ishige and Paolo Salani, and the second part is based on joint work with Kazuhiro Ishige and Haruto Tokunaga.
