Study on stability and continuity of solutions to complex Monge-Ampère equations on compact Hermitian manifolds.

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 exha…

Study bounds on Monge-Ampère volumes for degenerate complex equations.

We define a non-degenerated Monge-Ampere structure on a 6-manifold associated with a Monge-Ampere equation as a couple (Ω,ω), such that Ωis a symplectic form and ωis a 3-differential form which satisfies ω\wedgeΩ=0 and which is non-degenerated in the sense of Hitchin. We associate with such a couple an almost (pseudo) …

We complete the list of normal forms for effective 3-forms with constant coefficients with respect to the natural action of symplectomorphisms in \mathbb{R}^6. We show that the 3-form which corresponds to the Special Lagrangian equation is among the new members of the classification. The symplectic symmetry algebras an…

The paper proves a comparison principle for complex Monge-Ampère flows and solves a uniqueness problem.

We investigate a class of multi-dimensional two-component systems of Monge-Ampère type that can be viewed as generalisations of heavenly-type equations appearing in self-dual Ricci-flat geometry. Based on the Jordan-Kronecker theory of skew-symmetric matrix pencils, a classification of normal forms of such systems is o…

We define a nondegenerate Monge-Ampère structure on a 6-dimensional manifold as a pair $(Ω,ω)$, such that $Ω$ is a symplectic form and $ω$ is a 3-differential form which satisfies $ω\wedgeΩ=0$ and which is nondegenerate in the sense of Hitchin. We associate with such a pair a generalized almost (pseudo) Calabi-Yau stru…

Uniform bounds for Green's function on Kähler manifolds derived from complex Monge-Ampère equations.

This paper is a natural companion of [Alekseevsky D.V., Alonso Blanco R., Manno G., Pugliese F., Ann. Inst. Fourier (Grenoble) 62 (2012), 497-524, arXiv:1003.5177], generalising its perspectives and results to the context of third-order (2D) Monge-Ampère equations, by using the so-called "meta-symplectic structure" ass…

Solves complex Monge-Ampère equations with Hölder continuous solutions in Kähler manifolds.

All second order scalar differential invariants of symplectic hyperbolic and elliptic Monge-Ampère equations with respect to symplectomorphisms are explicitly computed. In particular, it is shown that the number of independent second order invariants is equal to 7, in sharp contrast with general Monge-Ampère equations …

Auxiliary equations improve bounds in symplectic geometry.

We prove an existence result for a "generalised" Monge-Ampère equation introduced earlier under some assumptions on a flat complex 3-torus. As an application we prove the existence of Chern connections on certain kinds of holomorphic vector bundles on complex 3-tori whose top Chern character forms are given representat…

Existence and boundary regularity away from the corners are established for two-dimensional Monge-Ampère equations on convex polytopes with Guillemin boundary conditions. An important step is to derive an expansion in terms of functions $y^n$ and $y^n\log y$ for solutions to equations of the form $\det D^2u(x,y) = y^{-…

The classes of Monge-Ampère systems, decomposable and bi-decomposable Monge-Ampère systems, including equations for improper affine spheres and hypersurfaces of constant Gauss-Kronecker curvature are introduced. They are studied by the clear geometric setting of Lagrangian contact structures, based on the existence of …

These lecture notes are concerned with the solvability of the second boundary value problem of the prescribed affine mean curvature equation and related regularity theory of the Monge-Ampère and linearized Monge-Ampère equations. The prescribed affine mean curvature equation is a fully nonlinear, fourth order, geometri…

Study of symplectic Monge-Ampère equations using moment maps and contact structures.

We show existence of unique smooth solutions to the Monge-Ampere equation for (n-1)-plurisubharmonic functions on Hermitian manifolds, generalizing previous work of the authors. As a consequence we obtain Calabi-Yau theorems for Gauduchon and strongly Gauduchon metrics on a class of non-Kahler manifolds: those satisfyi…

Defines volume and Monge-Ampère energy on polarized affine varieties.

Let $X$ be a compact Kähler manifold and $\om$ a smooth closed form of bidegree $(1,1)$ which is nonnegative and big. We study the classes ${\mathcal E}_χ(X,\om)$ of $\om$-plurisubharmonic functions of finite weighted Monge-Ampère energy. When the weight $χ$ has fast growth at infinity, the corresponding functions are …

Let u be a function of n independent variables x^1, ..., x^n, and U=(u_{ij}) the Hessian matrix of u. The symplectic Monge-Ampere equation is defined as a linear relation among all possible minors of U. Particular examples include the equation det U=1 governing improper affine spheres and the so-called heavenly equatio…

We study pairs of structures, such as the Poisson-Nijenhuis structures, on the tangent bundle of a manifold or, more generally, on a Lie algebroid or a Courant algebroid. These composite structures are defined by two of the following, a closed 2-form, a Poisson bivector or a Nijenhuis tensor, with suitable compatibilit…

We define a general class of elliptic equations for 2-forms on 4-manifolds, of which the complex Monge-Ampere equation is a prototype. We obtain some regularity results and discuss various connections (some speculative) with modern symplectic 4-manifold theory.

We introduce a vector bundle version of the complex Monge-Ampere equation motivated by a desire to study stability conditions involving higher Chern forms. We then restrict ourselves to complex surfaces, provide a moment map interpretation of it, and define a positivity condition (MA positivity) which is necessary for …

We study a parabolic complex Monge-Ampère type equation of the form \eqref{MA} on a complete noncompact \K manifold. We prove a short time existence result and obtain basic estimates. Applying these results, we prove that under certain assumptions on a given real and closed (1,1) form $Ω$ and initial \K metric $g_0$ on…

Mathematically, a homothetic function is a function of the form $f({\bf x})=F(h(x_1,...,x_n))$, where $h$ is a homogeneous function of any degree $d\ne 0$ and $F$ is a monotonically increasing function. In economics homothetic functions are production functions whose marginal technical rate of substitution is homogeneo…

We extend the Mason-Newman Lax pair for the elliptic complex Monge-Ampère equation so that this equation itself emerges as an algebraic consequence. We regard the function in the extended Lax equations as a complex potential. We identify the real and imaginary parts of the potential, which we call partner symmetries, w…

The paper proves a special case of Yau's conjecture for Kähler surfaces.

A Hermitian Einstein-Weyl manifold is a complex manifold admitting a Ricci-flat Kaehler covering W, with the deck transform acting on W by homotheties. If compact, it admits a canonical Vaisman metric, due to Gauduchon. We show that a Hermitian Einstein-Weyl structure on a compact complex manifold is determined by its …
