Abstract: We investigate the role of convexity in R'enyi entropy power inequalities. After proving that a general R'enyi entropy power inequality in the style of Bobkov-Chistyakov (2015) fails when the R'enyi parameter , we show that random vectors with -concave densities do satisfy such a R'enyi entropy power inequality. Along the way, we establish the convergence in the Central Limit Theorem for R'enyi entropies of order for log-concave densities and for compactly supported, spherically symmetric and unimodal densities, complementing a celebrated result of Barron (1986). Additionally, we give an entropic characterization of the class of -concave densities, which extends a classical result of Cover and Zhang (1994).
