Abstract

We study complex $m$-Hessian equations on bounded hyperconvex domains with right-hand side in $L^1(\Omega)$. The main contribution of this paper is a strong stability result for weak solutions in the Hessian energy sense. More precisely, if $f_j \to f$ in $L^1(\Omega)$ and $u_j, u$ are the corresponding solutions, then \[ \int_\Omega |u_j-u|\, H_m(u_j) \longrightarrow 0. \] This provides convergence in the natural energy topology associated to the Hessian operator, which is significantly stronger than convergence in capacity. For completeness, we also recall the existence of solutions and stability in capacity, which follow from known results in the literature.

Interior Hessian estimates for Hessian quotient equations

In this paper, we establish interior $C^2$ estimates for admissible semiconvex solutions to the general Hessian quotient equation $\frac{\sigma_k}{\sigma_l}(D^2u)=f(x,u),$ for the cases $l=k-1$ and $l=k-2$, where $f$ is a positive $C^2$ function. Such estimates are known to fail in general for $k-l\geq 3$, even for con...

Uniform $L^\infty$ estimates for complex hessian equations on compact Hermitian manifolds

We develop a pluripotential approach to complex Hessian equations on compact Hermitian manifolds. In this setting, the lack of closedness of the background metric introduces torsion terms that prevent a direct extension of the K\"ahler theory. Our main result is a uniform $L^\infty$ estimate for bounded $\omega$-$m$-su...

A concavity inequality and interior $C^2$ estimate for Hessian quotient equations

We establish a concavity inequality for the Hessian quotient operators $\frac{\sigma_k}{\sigma_l}$ in the cases $k-l\in\{1,2\}$, and then derive the corresponding Jacobi inequality. Combining this with the framework developed by Lu and Tsai, we obtain an interior Hessian estimate for convex solutions of $\frac{\sigma_k...

Strict Convexity for Solution of Liouville-Type Dirichlet Problems

We identify a common convexity structure for three exponential Dirichlet problems on smooth uniformly strictly convex domains: the Liouville equation $\Delta u=e^u$, the real equation $\sigma_2(D^2u)=e^{2u}$, and its complex counterpart $\sigma_2(u_{i\bar j})=e^{2u}$. In each case $u<0$ in the domain and $u=0$ on the b...

Doubling Argument of the Hessian Estimate for the Hessian Quotient Equations

In this paper, we establish a doubling argument to obtain Hessian estimates for convex solutions to the Hessian quotient equation $\frac{\sigma_n}{\sigma_k}(D^2u) = f(x,u,Du)$ for $k=n-1$ and $k=n-2$ under the condition that $\log f$ is convex in the $Du$ variable. In particular, our approach is pointwise and does not...

Uniqueness and boundary behaviour of solutions to variational problems with linear growth

We investigate the Dirichlet problem for the variational integral $J[u] = \int_{\Omega} f(\nabla u) \, dx$ with density $f$ of linear growth satisfying appropriate ellipticity conditions. We show that the relaxed problem admits a unique solution $u$ in the space of functions of bounded variation, if the set $\Gamma_0$...
