A quaternionic version of the Calabi problem on Monge-Ampere equation is introduced. It is a quaternionic Monge-Ampere equation on a compact hypercomplex manifold with an HKT-metric. The equation is non-linear elliptic of second order. For a hypercomplex manifold with holonomy in SL(n;H), uniqueness (up to a constant) of a solution is proven, as well as the zero order a priori estimate. The existence of solution is conjectured, similar to Calabi-Yau theorem. We reformulate this quaternionic equation as a special case of a complex Hessian equation, making sense on any complex manifold.

A quaternionic version of the Calabi problem was recently formulated by M. Verbitsky and the author. It conjectures a solvability of a quaternionic Monge-Ampere equation on a compact HKT manifold (HKT stays for HyperKaehler with Torsion). In this paper this problem is solved under an extra assumption that the manifold admits a flat hyperKaehler metric compactible with the underlying hypercomplex structure. The proof uses the continuity method and a priori estimates.
In the neighborhood of a regular point, generalized Kahler geometry admits a description in terms of a single real function, the generalized Kahler potential. We study the local conditions for a generalized Kahler manifold to be a generalized Calabi-Yau manifold and we derive a non-linear PDE that the generalized Kahler potential has to satisfy for this to be true. This non-linear PDE can be understood as a generalization of the complex Monge-Ampere equation and its solutions give supergravity solutions with metric, dilaton and H-field.
We find normal forms for parabolic Monge-Ampere equations. Of these, the most general one holds for any equation admitting a complete integral. Moreover, we explicitly give the determining equation for such integrals; restricted to the analytic case, this equation is shown to have solutions. The other normal forms exhaust the different classes of parabolic Monge-Ampere equations with symmetry properties, namely, the existence of classical or nonholonomic intermediate integrals. Our approach is based on the equivalence between parabolic Monge-Ampere equations and particular distributions on a contact manifold, and involves a classification of vector fields lying in the contact structure. These are divided into three types and described in terms of the simplest ones (characteristic fields of first order PDEs).
On any quaternionic manifold of dimension greater than 4 a class of plurisubharmonic functions (or, rather, sections of an appropriate line bundle) is introduced. Then a Monge-Amp`ere operator is defined. It is shown that it satisfies a version of theorems of A. D. Alexandrov and Chern-Levine-Nirenberg. These notions and results were previously known in the special case of hypercomplex manifolds. One of the new technical aspects of the present paper is the systematic use of the Baston differential operators, for which we prove a new multiplicativity property.
We prove that generalised Monge-Ampere equations (a family of equations which includes the inverse Hessian equations like the J-equation, as well as the Monge-Ampere equation) on projective manifolds have smooth solutions if certain intersection numbers are positive. As corollaries of our work, we improve a result of Chen (albeit in the projective case) on the existence of solutions to the J-equation, and prove a conjecture of Szekelyhidi in the projective case on the solvability of inverse Hessian equations. We also prove an equivariant version of our results, albeit under the assumption of uniform positivity. In particular, we can recover existing results on manifolds with large symmetry such as projective toric manifolds.
