Convexity of level sets for solutions to nonlinear elliptic problems in convex rings

We find suitable assumptions for the quasi-concave envelope $u^*$ of a solution (or a subsolution) $u$ of an elliptic equation $F(x,u, abla u,D^2u)=0$ (possibly fully nonlinear) to be a viscosity subsolution of the same equation. We apply this result to study the convexity of level sets of...
