Abstract

We consider convex admissible viscosity solutions of $\sigma_2(D^2u)=f>0$ in an open subset of $\mathbb R^n$, where $n\ge2$, $0<\alpha<1$, and $f\in C_{\mathrm{loc}}^{0,\alpha}$. We prove that every such solution belongs to $C_{\mathrm{loc}}^{2,\alpha}$. For solutions in $B_2$, we also prove a uniform $C^{2,\alpha}(B_{1/4})$ estimate under an $L^\infty$ bound for $u$, a positive lower bound for $f$, and a $C^{0,\alpha}$ bound for $f$.

Global $W^{2,p}$ and $C^{2,\alpha}$ regularity for the sigma-$2$ equation

In this paper, we prove that continuous $2$-convex solutions of the $\sigma_{2}$ equation with positive continuous density on bounded strictly mean-convex $C^{3}$ domains with $C^{3}$ boundary values belong to $W^{2,p}$ for every $1<p<\infty$ in every dimension. If, in addition, the density is $C^{\alpha}$, $0<\alpha<1...

Convex-Hull Instability of the $\gamma_2$-Functional in $L^p$

For every $2<p<\infty$ and every integer $r\ge2$, we construct a finite set $T\subseteq S_{L^p[0,1]}$ such that $|T|\le2^{Cr^2}$, $\gamma_2(T)\le Cr$, and $\gamma_2(\conv T)\ge c r^{3/2-1/p}$. Consequently, for every fixed $p>2$, both estimates in Talagrand's Research Problem~2.11.3 fail in each of the spaces $L^p[0,1]...

The $L_p$ Minkowski problem for $C$-close sets: existence and continuity

Let $C$ be a pointed closed convex cone in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with nonempty interior, and let $S^{n-1}$ denote the unit sphere in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The $L_p$ Minkowski problem for $C$-close sets is to determine, for a real number $p$ and a nonzero finite Borel measure $\mu$ defined on $\Omega_{C^\circ}=S^{n-1}\cap \mathrm{in...

Axially Symmetric Rigidity for a $Q$-Curvature-Type Equation on $ \mathbb{S}^N $

We prove that for every even integer $N\geq 4$ or $N\in\{3,5,7\}$, every axially symmetric solution to the $Q$-curvature-type problem $$ \alpha P_N u + (N-1)!(1-\frac{e^{Nu}}{\int_{\mathbb{S}^N} e^{Nu}dw})=0 \ \ \ \ \ \mbox{on} \ \mathbb{S}^N $$ is constant, provided that $ \alpha\ge\frac{1}{2}$ and $\alpha \not =1$.

Regularity of minimizing $p$-harmonic maps from $B^3$ to $\mathbb{S}^3$

We prove that every minimizing $p$-harmonic map from $B^3$ into $\mathbb S^3$ is locally $C^{1,\alpha}$ for some $\alpha\in(0,1)$, for every $p>p_0$, where $p_0=\frac{7-\sqrt{17}}{2}\approx 1.44$. This closes the gap between the previously established regularity ranges $[2,2.642]\cup[2.961,3]$ and, in particular, yield...

Sharp $\ell^p$-Improving Estimates for Fixed-Radius Discrete Spherical Averages

Let $d\geq 4$ and let $R>0$. When $d=4$, assume that $R^2\in\mathbb{N}\setminus 4\mathbb{N}$; when $d\geq 5$, let $R^2\in\mathbb{N}$ be arbitrary. We prove the fixed-radius estimate $$\|A_R f\|_{\ell^{p'}(\mathbb{Z}^d)}\leq C_{d,p,\varepsilon}R^{-d(2/p-1)+\varepsilon}\|f\|_{\ell^p(\mathbb{Z}^d)}$$ for $(d+2)/d\leq p\le...
