Abstract

It is well-known that a celebrated J\"{o}rgens-Calabi-Pogorelov theorem for Monge-Amp\`ere equations states that any classical (viscosity) convex solution of det(D2u)=1\det(D^2u)=1 in Rn\mathbb{R}^n must be a quadratic polynomial. Therefore, it is an interesting topic to study the existence and uniqueness theorem of such fully nonlinear partial differential equations' Dirichlet problems on exterior domains with suitable asymptotic conditions at infinity. As a continuation of the works of Caffarelli-Li for Monge-Amp\`ere equation and of Bao-Li-Li for kk-Hessian equations, this paper is devoted to the solvability of the exterior Dirichlet problem of Hessian quotient equations σk(λ(D2u))/σl(λ(D2u))=1\sigma_k(\lambda(D^2u))/\sigma_l(\lambda(D^2u))=1 for any 1l<kn1\leq l<k\leq n in all dimensions n2n\geq 2. By introducing the concept of generalized symmetric subsolutions and then using the Perron's method, we establish the existence theorem for viscosity solutions, with prescribed asymptotic behavior which is close to some quadratic polynomial at infinity.
