Abstract

This article has two purposes. The first is to prove solutions of the second boundary value problem for generated Jacobian equations are strictly gg-convex. The second is to prove the global C3C^3 regularity of Aleksandrov solutions to the same problem under stronger hypothesis. These are related because the strict gg-convexity is essential for the proof of the global regularity. The assumptions for the strict gg-convexity are the natural extension of those used by Chen and Wang in the optimal transport case. They improve the existing domain conditions though at the expense of requiring a C3C^3 generating function. We prove the global regularity under the hypothesis that Jiang and Trudinger recently used to obtain the existence of a globally smooth solution and an additional condition on the height of solutions. Our proof of global regularity is by modifying Jiang and Trudinger's existence result to construct a globally C3C^3 solution intersecting the Aleksandrov solution. Then the strict convexity yields the interior regularity to apply the author's uniqueness results.
