Abstract

We prove a Pogorelov interior estimate for strictly plurisubharmonic solutions of the complex Monge-Amp\`ere equation $\det(u_{i\bar{j}})=1$ with homogeneous Dirichlet data under the condition that, for some constant $\kappa\geq 1$, $(\kappa u_{i\bar{j}}-u_{is}u^{s\bar{t}}u_{\overline{tj}})$ is non-negative definite. For $\kappa=1$, this gives the estimate for real convex solutions. The estimate depends only on the dimension, $\kappa$, and the $C^0$ and $C^1$ norms of the solution. As an application, every smooth entire convex solution of $\det(u_{i\bar{j}})=1$ on $\mathbb{C}^n$ is a real quadratic polynomial. The same conclusion holds if real convexity is assumed only outside a compact subset of $\mathbb{C}^n$.

Sharp Hessian integrability for the planar Monge--Amp\`ere equation

We determine the optimal local integrability of the Hessian for planar convex Alexandrov solutions satisfying $$ \lambda\,dx\leq\mu_u\leq\lambda^{-1}\,dx, \qquad 0<\lambda<1. $$ The distributional Hessian satisfies the sharp endpoint estimate $$ D^2u\in L_{\mathrm{loc}}^{P,\infty}, \qquad P=\frac{1+\lambda}{1-\lambda}....

Liouville theorems for stable solutions to the mean curvature equation

We study stable solutions of the mean curvature equation $$ -\operatorname{div}\left(\frac{\nabla u}{\sqrt{1+|\nabla u|^2}}\right) =|u|^{p-1}u $$ in domains of $\mathbb R^n$. We establish Liouville-type results in three settings. First, for globally stable solutions in $\mathbb R^n$, we prove that $u\equiv0$ if $1<p<p_...

Nirenberg's Theorem and Singular Solutions from Traceless Symmetric Matrices

Nirenberg's theorem gives interior $C^{2,\alpha}$ regularity for continuous viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear uniformly elliptic equations $F(D^2u)=0$ in dimension two. In dimensions five and higher, the work of Nadirashvili--Tkachev--Vl\u{a}du\c{t} shows that such solutions need not be $C^2$. We construct a famil...
