Abstract

We construct a counterexample to W2,1W^{2,1} regularity for convex solutions to detD2u1,uΩ=0\det D^2u \leq 1, \quad u|_{\partial \Omega} = 0 in two dimensions. We also prove a result on the propagation of singularities in two dimensions that are logarithmically slower than Lipschitz. This generalizes a classical result of Alexandrov and is optimal by example.
