Abstract

We study entire solutions and periodic correctors for the coupled-drift Monge-Amp\`ere equation detD2u=exp{aDu+bx+V(x)c0},D2u>0. \det D^2u = \exp\{-a\cdot Du+b\cdot x+V(x)-c_0\}, \quad D^2u>0. For V0V\equiv0, we obtain a sharp classification of the whole-space solvability regimes: all entire smooth strictly convex solutions are quadratic when a=b=0a=b=0; no such solution exists when a0a\neq0 and ab0a\cdot b\le0; and non-quadratic entire solutions exist when a=0a=0 and b0b\neq0, or when ab>0a\cdot b>0. The main new ingredient is a scalar maximum-principle argument valid in every dimension n2n\ge2, which proves that the null case a0a\neq0, ab=0a\cdot b=0 admits no entire smooth strictly convex solution. For periodic VV, we establish the existence and uniqueness for the drifted cell problem det(A+D2ψ)=exp{aDψ+VcA},A+D2ψ>0on Tn. \det(A+D^2\psi) = \exp\{-a\cdot D\psi+V-c_A\}, \quad A+D^2\psi>0 \quad\text{on }\mathbb T^n. We also prove that any asymptotically quadratic entire solution must satisfy b=Aab=Aa. If its remainder is bounded, then the solution is the corresponding quadratic-periodic corrector up to an additive constant.
