In this paper, we derive a priori interior Hessian estimates for Lagrangian mean curvature equation if the Lagrangian phase is supercritical and has bounded second derivatives.
We establish quadratic asymptotics for solutions to special Lagrangian equations with supercritical phases in exterior domains. The method is based on an exterior Liouville type result for general fully nonlinear elliptic equations toward constant asymptotics of bounded Hessian, and also certain rotation arguments toward Hessian bound. Our unified approach also leads to quadratic asymptotics for convex solutions to Monge-Ampère equations (previously known), quadratic Hessian equations, and inverse harmonic Hessian equations over exterior domains.
In this paper, we prove some rigidity theorems for the entire 2-convex solutions of 2-Hessian equation in Euclidean space. As an application, we obtain a Bernstein type theorem for global special Lagrangian graphs.
In this paper, we prove interior gradient estimates for the Lagrangian mean curvature equation, if the Lagrangian phase is critical and supercritical and $C^{2}$. Combined with the a priori interior Hessian estimates proved in [Bha21, Bha22], this solves the Dirichlet boundary value problem for the critical and supercritical Lagrangian mean curvature equation with $C^0$ boundary data. We also provide a uniform gradient estimate for lower regularity phases that satisfy certain additional hypotheses.
The aim of this expository article is to reveal the equivalence of Jörgens' Theorem on the two dimensional unimodular Hessian equation and Fu's Theorem on the two dimensional special Lagrangian equation.
A viscosity approach is introduced for the Dirichlet problem associated to complex Hessian type equations on domains in $\C^n$. The arguments are modelled on the theory of viscosity solutions for real Hessian type equations developed by Trudinger. As consequence we solve the Dirichlet problem for the Hessian quotient and special Lagrangian equations. We also establish basic regularity results for the solutions.
In this note, we use Warren-Yuan's super isoperimetric inequality on the level sets of subharmonic functions, which is available only in two dimensions, to derive a modified Hessian bound for solutions of the two dimensional Lagrangian mean curvature equation. We assume the Lagrangian phase to be supercritical with bounded second derivatives. Unlike the previous approach, the simplified approach in this proof does not require the Michael-Simon mean value and Sobolev inequalities on generalized submanifolds of $\mathbb{R}^n$.
We establish interior regularity for convex viscosity solutions of the special Lagrangian equation. Our result states that all such solutions are real analytic in the interior of the domain.
In this paper, we mainly establish the existence and uniqueness theorem for solutions of the exterior Dirichlet problem for a class of fully nonlinear second-order elliptic equations related to the eigenvalues of the Hessian, with prescribed generalized symmetric asymptotic behavior at infinity. Moreover, we give some new results for the Hessian equations, Hessian quotient equations and the special Lagrangian equations, which have been studied previously.
This is a sequel to [1] and [2], which study the second boundary problem for special Lagrangian curvature potential equation. As consequences, we obtain the existence and uniqueness of the smooth uniformly convex solution by the method of continuity through carrying out a-priori estimate on the solutions.
Special Lagrangian submanifolds are submanifolds of a Calabi-Yau manifold calibrated by the real part of the holomorphic volume form. In this paper we use elliptic theory for edge-degenerate differential operators on singular manifolds to study the moduli space of deformations of special Lagrangian submanifolds with edge singularities. We obtain a general theorem describing the local structure of the moduli space. When the obstruction space vanishes the moduli space is a smooth, finite dimensional manifold.
We solve the Fu-Yau equation for arbitrary dimension and arbitrary slope $α'$. Actually we obtain at the same time a solution of the open case $α'>0$, an improved solution of the known case $α'<0$, and solutions for a family of Hessian equations which includes the Fu-Yau equation as a special case. The method is based on the introduction of a more stringent ellipticity condition than the usual $Γ_k$ admissible cone condition, and which can be shown to be preserved by precise estimates with scale.
In this paper, we continue our investigations into the global theory of oblique boundary value problems for augmented Hessian equations. We construct a global barrier function in terms of an admissible function in a uniform way when the matrix function in the augmented Hessian is only assumed regular. This enables us to derive global second derivative estimates in terms of boundary estimates which are then obtained by strengthening the concavity or monotonicity conditions in our previous work on the strictly regular case. Finally we give some applications to existence theorems which embrace st…
The Gibbons-Hawking ansatz provides a large family of circle-invariant hyperkaehler 4-manifolds, and thus Calabi-Yau 2-folds. In this setting, we prove versions of the Thomas conjecture on existence of special Lagrangian representatives of Hamiltonian isotopy classes of Lagrangians, and the Thomas-Yau conjecture on long-time existence of the Lagrangian mean curvature flow. We also make observations concerning closed geodesics, curve shortening flow and minimal surfaces.
We show that the degenerate special Lagrangian equation, recently introduced by Rubinstein-Solomon, induces a global equation on every Riemannian manifold, and that for certain associated geometries this equation governs, as it does in the Euclidean setting, geodesics in the space of positive Lagrangians. For example, geodesics in the space of positive Lagrangian sections of a smooth Calabi-Yau torus fibration are governed by the Riemannian DSL on the base manifold. We then develop their analytic techniques, specifically modifications of the Dirichlet duality theory of Harvey-Lawson, in the Ri…
In this paper, we establish the existence and uniqueness theorem of the exterior Dirichlet problem for special Lagrangian equations with prescribed asymptotic behavior at infinity.
In this paper, we study a class of special Lagrangian curvature potential equations and obtain the existence of smooth solutions for Dirichlet problem. The existence result is based on a priori estimates of global $C^{0}$, $C^{1}$ and $C^{2}$ norms of solutions under the assumption of existence of a subsolution.
We treat the exterior Dirichlet problem for a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations of the form $$f(λ(D^2u))=g(x),$$ with prescribed asymptotic behavior at infinity. The equations of this type had been studied extensively by Caffarelli--Nirenberg--Spruck \cite{Caffarelli1985}, Trudinger \cite{Trudinger1995} and many others, and there had been significant discussions on the solvability of the classical Dirichlet problem via the continuity method, under the assumption that $f$ is a concave function. In this paper, based on the Perron's method, we establish an exterior existence and uniquen…
We obtain a quantitative high order expansion at infinity of solutions for a family of fully nonlinear elliptic equations on exterior domain, refine the study of the asymptotic behavior of the Monge-Ampère equation, the special Lagrangian equation and other elliptic equations, and give the precise gap between exterior maximal (or minimal) gradient graph and the entire case.
We study the long-time behavior of solutions of the $k$-Hessian evolution equation $u_t=S_{k}(D^2 u)$, posed on a bounded domain of the $n$-dimensional space with homogeneous boundary conditions. To this end, we construct a separable solution and we show that the long-time behavior of $u$ is precisely described by this special solution. Further, we initiate the study of that dynamic phenomenon on the entire space, providing a new class of explicit and radially symmetric self-similar solutions that we call $k$-Barenblatt solutions. These solutions present some common properties as those of well…
