In this paper, we consider a class of Hessian type equations which include the $(n-1)$ Monge-Ampère equation on Riemannian manifolds. The \emph{a priori} $C^2$ estimates and the existence of solutions are established.
The author extends previous results to general classes of equations under weaker assumptions obtained in 2016 by Bao, Dong and Jiao concerning the study of the regularity of solutions for the first initial-boundary value problem for parabolic Hessian equations on Riemannian manifolds.
In this paper, we derive $C^2$ estimates for a class of mixed Hessian type equations with Dirichlet boundary condition, and obtain the existence theorem of admissible solutions for the classical Dirichlet problem of these mixed Hessian type equations.
In this paper, we consider the Dirichlet problem for a class of Hessian quotient equations on Riemannian manifolds. Under the assumption of an admissible subsolution, we solve the existence and the uniquness for the Dirichlet problem in a domain without any geometric restrictions on the boundary, based on the a priori estimates for the solutions to the Hessian quotient type equations.
We obtain a priori local pointwise second derivative estimates for solutions $u$ to a class of augmented Hessian equations on Riemannian manifolds, in terms of the $C^1$ norm and certain $W^{2,p}$ norms of $u$. We consider the case that no structural assumptions are imposed on either the augmenting term or the right hand side of the equation, and the case where these terms are convex in the gradient variable. In the latter case, under an additional ellipticity condition we prove that the dependence on any $W^{2,p}$ norm can be dropped. Our results are derived using integral estimates.
In this paper we study the {\it a priori} gradient estimates for admissible solutions to Neumann boundary value problem of fully nonlinear Hessian equations on Riemannian manifolds. We firstly derive an interior gradient estimates for admissible solutions, then we obtain boundary gradient estimates based on the interior gradient estimates we have got.
In this paper, we consider Hessian equations with its structure as a combination of elementary symmetric functions on closed Kähler manifolds. We provide a sufficient and necessary condition for the solvability of these equations, which generalize the results of Hessian equations and Hessian quotient equations.
We show the $C^0$ estimate for solutions to Hessian quotient equations on hyperKähler with torsion manifolds without any additional assumption on its hypercomplex structure by a clever use of the cone condition directly.
We derive second order estimates for $χ$-plurisubharmonic solutions of complex Hessian equations with right hand sides depending on gradients on compact Hermitian manifolds.
In this paper we study the Dirichlet problem for a class of Hessian type equation with its structure as a combination of elementary symmetric functions on Hermitian manifolds. Under some conditions with the initial data on manifolds and admissible subsolutions, we derive a priori estimates for this complex mixed Hessian equation and solvability of the corresponding Dirichlet problem.
In this paper, we consider a class of Hessian quotient equations in the warped product manifold $\overline{M}=I\times_λM$. Under some sufficient conditions, we obtain an existence result for the star-shaped compact hypersurface $Σ$ in $\overline{M}$ using standard degree theory based on a priori estimates for solutions to the Hessian quotient equations.
We study the long time behavior of the Hesse-Koszul flow on compact Hessian manifolds. When the first affine Chern class is negative, we prove that the flow converges to the unique Hesse-Einstein metric. We also derive a convergence result for a twisted Hesse-Koszul flow on any compact Hessian manifold. These results give alternative proofs for the existence of the unique Hesse-Einstein metric by Cheng-Yau and Caffarelli-Viaclovsky as well as the real Calabi theorem by Cheng-Yau, Delanoë and Caffarelli-Viaclovsky.
We solve the Dirichlet problem for $k$-Hessian equations on compact complex manifolds with boundary, given the existence of a subsolution. Our method is based on a second order a priori estimate of the solution on the boundary with a particular gradient scale. The scale allows us to apply a blow-up argument to obtain control on all necessary norms of the solution.
We consider degenerate Monge-Ampère equations on compact Hessian manifolds. We establish compactness properties of the set of normalized quasi-convex functions and show local and global comparison principles for twisted Monge-Ampère operators. We then use the Perron method to solve Monge-Ampère equations whose RHS involves an arbitrary probability measure, generalizing works of Cheng-Yau, Delanoë, Caffarelli-Viaclovsky and Hultgren-Önnheim. The intrinsic approach we develop should be useful in deriving similar results on mildly singular Hessian varieties, in line with the Strominger-Yau-Zaslow…
In this paper, we derive an \emph{a priori} second order estimate for solutions which are in $Γ_{k+1}$ cone to a class of complex Hessian equations with both sides of the equation depending on the gradient on compact Hermitian manifolds.
We solve the classical Dirichlet problem for a general complex Hessian equation on a small ball in $\bC^n$. Then, we show that there is a continuous solution, in pluripotential theory sense, to the Dirichlet problem on compact Hermitian manifolds with boundary that equipped locally conformal Kähler metrics, provided a subsolution.
In this paper, we propose a coupled system of complex Hessian equations which generalizes the equation for constant scalar curvature Kähler (cscK) metrics. We show this system can be realized variationally as the Euler-Lagrange equation of a Hessian version of the Mabuchi K-energy in an infinite dimensional space of $k$-Hessian potentials, which can be seen as an infinite dimensional Riemannian manifold with negative sectional curvature. Finally, we prove an a priori $C^0$-estimate for this system which depends on the Entropy, which generalizes a fundamental result of Chen and Cheng for cscK m…
This article is devoted to the study of several estimations for a positive solution to a nonlinear weighted parabolic equation on a weighted Riemannian manifold. We therefore derive new Li-Yau type and Hamilton type gradient estimates yielding several consequences. We also derive Hessian estimate and some corollaries for the same equation. Among the applications of our estimates discussed here are Harnack type inequalities, Liouville type theorems and a local time reversed Harnack inequality.
This paper is a survey of some recent results on the validity and the failure of global $W^{2,p}$ regularity properties of smooth solutions of the Poisson equation $Δu = f$ on a complete Riemannian manifold $(M,g)$. We review different methods developed to obtain a-priori $L^p$-Hessian estimates of the form $\| \Hess(u) \|_{L^p} \leq C_1 \| u \|_{L^p} + C_2 \| f \|_{L^p}$ under various geometric conditions on $M$ both in the case of real valued functions and for manifold valued maps. We also present explicit and somewhat implicit counterexamples showing that, in general, this integral inequali…
We prove that polyharmonic maps of arbitrary order from complete nonparabolic Riemannian manifolds to arbitrary Riemannian manifolds must be harmonic if certain smallness and integrability conditions hold.
