contents We show that for every $n \geq 2$ and $D > 0$ there exist a convex domain $Ω\subseteq \mathbb H^n$ with diameter $D$ and a convex potential $V$ on $Ω$ such that the fundamental gap of the operator $-Δ+V$ is strictly smaller than the fundamental gap of $-Δ$. In comparison to previous work, this result requires more refined control of the eigenfunctions.
