Abstract

We prove Liouville rigidity theorems for translation-invariant real and complex Hessian equations in the viscosity sense, where the PDE is encoded by an admissible set $\mathcal{A}$. The main structural notion is Liouville admissibility, a recursive geometric condition requiring each quotient set to be either boundary compatible or to fall into a terminal class. Our main theorem states that every bounded, globally $C^{0,\alpha}$ entire viscosity solution of \[ \mathrm{Hess}_{\mathbb F}u\in\partial\mathcal{A} \] is constant if and only if $\mathcal{A}$ is Liouville admissible; thus the Liouville-type property is characterized as a geometric property of the admissible set. A central class of examples arises from polarizations of univariate G{\aa}rding polynomials satisfying the monotone root sequence condition, producing mixed elementary-symmetric admissible sets and recovering the standard $k$-Hessian equations as monomial cases. The framework also allows anisotropic constructions, including linear pullbacks and intersections of admissible sets.

Convex functions with symplectic Hessian

We prove a third-order derivative estimate for convex solutions to the real Monge-Amp\`ere equation ${\rm det}\,{\rm Hess}(u) = 1$ on an open set in $\mathbb{R}^{2m}$ under the additional assumption that ${\rm Hess}(u)$ lies in ${\rm Sp}(2m,\mathbb{R})$ at every point. Our method is a geometric interpretation and exten...

Sharp rigidity for quasilinear Liouville equation on manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature

We study the quasilinear Liouville equation \[ -\Delta_n u=e^u \] on complete noncompact Riemannian manifolds with nonnegative Ricci curvature. Our first result shows that, if a solution $u$ satisfies the optimal logarithmic lower bound \[ u(x)\ge -\frac{n^2}{n-1}\log r(x)+o(\log r(x)) \quad \text{as }r(x)\to+\infty, \...

Sharp partial regularity of Hamiltonian stationary and special Lagrangian graphs

We prove a sharp partial regularity result for Hamiltonian stationary Lagrangian Lipschitz submanifolds in arbitrary smooth almost K\"ahler manifolds: every weak solution of the corresponding equation is smooth away from a relatively closed singular set of Hausdorff dimension at most $n-5$. We show that the estimate is...

Finite Gram Scalarization and Further Properties of Multiplier Submodule Sheaves

Let $(E,h)$ be a singular Hermitian vector bundle on a complex manifold $X$, and let \[ \mathcal E(h)_x=\{F\in\mathcal O(E)_x:|F|_h^2\in L^1_{\mathrm{loc},x}\} \] be its multiplier submodule sheaf. We introduce a finite plurisubharmonic Gram scalarization condition under which the higher-rank integrability problem redu...
