Abstract

We prove that the ground-state eigenfunction for symmetric stable processes of order α∈(0,2) killed upon leaving the interval (−1,1) is concave on . We call this property “mid-concavity”. A similar statement holds for rectangles in ℝd, d>1. These result follow from similar results for finite-dimensional distributions of Brownian motion and subordination.
