Let $M$ be a smooth compact manifold and $f \in C^\infty (M)$ be a sign-changing function. I'm interested in the following question: Should the subset
$$\Big\{ u \in C^\infty (M) : \int_M f e^u d\mu > 0 \Big\} $$
of $C^\infty (M)$ be convex? Even when $M$ is an interval in $\mathbb R$, the answer could be useful.
Thank you in advance.
