| Descripción: | We consider domains $D$ of $R^d$, $d\ge 2$ with the property that there is a wedge $V\subset R^d$ which is left invariant under all tangential projections at smooth portions of $\partial D$. It is shown that the difference between two solutions of the Skorokhod equation in $D$ with normal reflection, driven by the same Brownian motion, remains in $V$ if it is initially in $V$. The heat equation on $D$ with Neumann boundary conditions is considered next. It is shown that the cone of elements $u$ of $L^2(D)$ satisfying $u(x)-u(y)\ge0$ whenever $x-y\in V$ is left invariant by the corresponding heat semigroup. Positivity considerations identify an eigenfunction corresponding to the second Neumann eigenvalue as an element of this cone. For $d=2$ and under further assumptions, especially convexity of the domain, this eigenvalue is simple. |
