By studying a complex Monge-Amp`ere equation, we present an alternate proof to a recent result of Chu-Lee-Tam concerning the projectivity of a compact Kahler manifold $N^n$ with $Ric_k< 0$ for some integer $k$ with $1<k<n$, and the ampleness of the canonical line bundle $K_N$.
In this paper, the author studies quaternionic Monge-Amp`ere equations and obtains the existence and uniqueness of the solutions to the Dirichlet problem for such equations without any restriction on domains. Our paper not only answers to the open problem proposed by Semyon Alesker in [3], but also extends relevant results in [7] to the quaternionic vector space.
We study the global wellposedness of the Euler-Monge-Amp`ere (EMA) system. We obtain a sharp, explicit critical threshold in the space of initial configurations which guarantees the global regularity of EMA system with radially symmetric initial data. The result is obtained using two independent approaches -- one using spectral dynamics of Liu & Tadmor [Comm. Math. Physics 228(3):435-466, 2002] and another based on the geometric approach of Brenier & Loeper [Geom. Funct. Analysis 14(6):1182--1218, 2004]. The results are extended to 2D radial EMA with swirl.
We prove the existence of entire solutions of the Monge-Amp`ere equations with prescribed asymptotic behavior at infinity of the plane, which was left by Caffarelli-Li in 2003. The special difficulty of the problem in dimension two is due to the global logarithmic term in the asymptotic expansion of solutions at infinity. Furthermore, we give a PDE proof of the characterization of the space of solutions of the Monge-Amp`ere equation $det abla^2 u=1$ with $kge 2$ singular points, which was established by Galvez-Martinez-Mira in 2005. We also obtain the existence in higher dimensional cases with general right hand sides.
The purpose of this paper is to establish a Lagrangian potential theory, analogous to the classical pluripotential theory, and to define and study a Lagrangian differential operator of Monge-Ampere type. This development is new even in ${bf C}^n$. However, it applies quite generally -- perhaps most importantly to symplectic manifolds equipped with a Gromov metric. The Lagrange Monge-Ampere operator is an explicit polynomial on ${rm Sym}^2(TX)$ whose principle branch defines the space of Lag-harmonics. Interestingly the operator depends only on the Laplacian and the SKEW-Hermitian part of the Hessian. The Dirichlet problem for this operator is solved in both the homogeneous and inhomogeneous cases. The homogeneous case is also solved for each of the other branches. This paper also introduces and systematically studies the notions of Lagrangian plurisubharmonic and harmonic functions, and Lagrangian convexity. An analogue of the Levi Problem is proved. In ${bf C}^n$ there is another concept, Lag-plurihamonics, which relate in several ways to the harmonics on any domain. Parallels of this Lagrangian potential theory with standard (complex) pluripotential theory are constantly emphasized.
