Let $(M,\omega)$ be a compact Hermitian manifold, and let $\Gamma$ be a symmetric convex cone. We develop a quantitative regularization method for $\Gamma$-admissible functions. As an application, we prove H\"older continuity for every pluripotential solution of complex $m$-Hessian equations whose right-hand sides belong to $L^p$, for $p>\frac{n}{m}$. These results extend to a more general class of complex Hessian equations satisfying the structural condition used by Guo--Phong--Tong.
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 $\omega$-$m$-subharmonic solutions of the equation \[ (\omega + dd^c u)^m \wedge \omega^{n-m} = cf\,\omega^n, \] under the assumption that $f \in L^p$, $f \ge 0$ for some $p>1$. The proof combines a weak comparison principle with torsion error, a capacity theory adapted to the Hermitian setting, and a nonlinear iteration scheme controlling the decay of sublevel sets. As applications, we obtain existence, stability and compactness results for weak solutions with $L^p$ densities. These results extend several aspects of the pluripotential theory. of complex Hessian equations beyond the K\"ahler framework.
Let $(M,g,J)$ be a closed K\"ahler manifold satisfying $\operatorname{Ric}\geqslant g$. We establish improved Liouville theorems for the Euler--Lagrange equations associated with the Beckner--Sobolev inequalities by incorporating the first positive eigenvalue of the $\bar\partial$-Laplacian into a differential-identity argument. As a consequence, we obtain improved Sobolev and Beckner inequalities that refine the known Riemannian and K\"ahler estimates when the first eigenvalue is sufficiently large. We also derive new upper bounds for the diameter of $(M,g)$.
Let $(M,g)$ be a connected, compact, $n$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with $\operatorname{Ric}(M,g)\geq-(n-1)\kappa g$. We introduce a weighted combinatorial Laplacian on $\varepsilon$-discretizations of $M$ and prove a spectral comparison theorem between the weighted graph Laplacian and the Laplace-Beltrami operator. More precisely, the eigenvalues of the two operators are uniformly comparable with constants depending only on $n,\kappa,\varepsilon$, independently of the injectivity radius. As an application, we prove spectral stability under measured Gromov-Hausdorff convergence. We also recover the Schoen-Wolpert-Yau inequality using the weighted discretization on families of pinching genus-$2$ hyperbolic surfaces.
In this article, we establish H\"older regularity for viscosity solutions to a class of degenerate fully nonlinear elliptic equations of the form \[ F(D^2u,Du)=f(x)~~\text{in}~~B_1, \] where the operator is elliptic only in regions where the Hessian is sufficiently large. Such equations arise naturally in free boundary problems and models with partial ellipticity. The proof combines a modified cusp function with a decomposition of the contact set in a point-to-measure argument. As a consequence, interior H\"older continuity follows under natural structural assumptions.
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 convex solutions, as shown by counterexamples due to Lu \cite{LuGeneral}. The main ingredient is a quantitative concavity inequality for the Hessian quotient operator under the semiconvex condition. Our result provides a unified argument to such general Hessian quotient equations for $2\leq k\leq n-1$ in arbitrary dimensions.
Suppose $(M, g)$ is a smooth, closed, $5$-dimensional Riemannian manifold with positive Yamabe invariant $Y(M, [g])>0$ and positive Yamabe-type $Q$-curvature invariant $Y_{4}^{\ast}(M, [g])>0$. Using the continuity method, we prove the existence of a metric in the conformal class $[g]$ with positive scalar curvature and positive $Q$-curvature, assuming an additional condition on an ``initial metric"in the class $[g]$.
