Review text

The Kolmogorov operator \(L\) on \(\mathbb R^3\) is given by \(L={\partial^2\over \partial x^2}+ x{\partial\over \partial y}-{\partial\over\partial t}\). The author proves a convexity theorem for mean values of \(L\)-subharmonic functions which is analogous to F. Riesz's convexity theorem for mean values of classical subharmonic functions. The mean values under consideration are defined as integrals of an \(L\)-subharmonic function \(u\) with respect to certain measures on level surfaces of the fundamental solution of a Cauchy problem for the adjoint operator \(L^\ast = {\partial^2\over \partial x^2}-x {\textstyle \partial\over\textstyle \partial y}+{\textstyle \partial\over\textstyle \partial t}\). The potential-theoretical significance of the measures is discussed. The author points out analogies with a convexity theorem for mean values of subtemperatures due to \textit{N. A. Watson} [Ark. Mat. 30, No.~1, 165-185 (1992; Zbl 0784.35039)].
