Abstract

We prove that for each $3\le k\le n-1$ a convex $C^2$ entire solution of $\sigma_k$ equation in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with positive constant right hand side is a quadratic polynomial, without a growth assumption on the solution itself.

Regularity for convex viscosity solutions of $\sigma_3$ equation

We prove interior $C^2$ regularity for convex viscosity solutions of the $3$-Hessian equation $\sigma_3(D^2u)=f(x)$ with $f\in C^{0,1}, \inf f>0$, under a strict $3$-convexity condition on $u$.

A Concavity Inequality for Hessian Quotient Equations

We prove a concavity inequality for the Hessian quotient operator $\sigma_k/\sigma_{k-1}$ using a change of basis for symmetric polynomials. This removes an additional structural concavity assumption previously imposed in the interior $C^2$ estimate for convex solutions of the $\sigma_k/\sigma_{k-1}$ equation. The meth...

Interior $C^{2,\alpha}$ Regularity for the Quadratic Hessian Equation

We establish interior $C^{2,\alpha}$ regularity for admissible solutions of the quadratic Hessian equation with positive $C^\alpha$ right-hand side on the full positive branch. The main ingredients are a quantitative large-trace propagation argument and an adaptive Dirichlet comparison method.

Hessian Estimates for Convex Solutions of Hessian Quotient Equations via Compactness

We give a compactness proof of interior Hessian estimates for convex solutions of $\sigma_n(D^2u)/\sigma_{n-2}(D^2u)=1$ and $\sigma_n(D^2u)/\sigma_{n-1}(D^2u)=f(x,u,Du)>0$, with $1/f$ concave in the gradient variable in the latter case, revisiting results of Lu and Fung.
