Abstract

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.

Stability and strong convergence for complex Hessian equations with $L^1$ data

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...

Explicit Estimates for the Bergman Kernel Form

Let $(L,e^{-\phi})$ be a positive Hermitian holomorphic line bundle over a compact Riemann surface $X$, and let $\omega=i\partial\overline{\partial}\phi$. We obtain explicit pointwise estimates for the Bergman form of the tensor power $mL$. If $\mathrm{Ric}\,\omega\leq\omega$ and the shortest nonconstant closed geodesi...

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...

Sharp Hausdorff Bounds for the Interior Singular Set of Convex $k$-Hessian Solutions

Let $2\le k\le n$, let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^n$ be open and convex, and let $u$ be a convex viscosity solution of $\sigma_k(D^2u)=1$ in $\Omega$. We prove that the set on which $u$ fails to be locally $C^2$ has vanishing $(n-1)$-dimensional Hausdorff measure. In the intermediate range $3\le k<n$, this gives a codime...

Interior Hessian Estimates for Semi-convex Solutions of the $\sigma_2/\sigma_1$ Equation with Lipschitz Right-Hand Sides

Let $n\ge2$ and let $u$ be a smooth 2-convex and semi-convex solution of \[ \frac{\sigma _2(D^2u)}{\sigma _1(D^2u)}=f(x). \] We prove an interior Hessian estimate depending on the Lipschitz norm of $f$. The proof combines the integral approach of Chen--Jian--Zhou with the algebraic reduction of the quotient equation to...

Regularization and H\"older continuity for complex Hessian equations on Hermitian manifolds

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 belo...
