Abstract

Let ΩCn\Omega \Subset \mathbb C^n be a bounded strongly mm-pseudoconvex domain (1mn1\leq m\leq n) and μ\mu a positive Borel measure with finite mass on Ω\Omega. Then we solve the H\"older continuous subsolution problem for the complex Hessian equation (ddcu)mβnm=μ(dd^c u)^m \wedge \beta^{n - m} = \mu on Ω\Omega. Namely, we show that this equation admits a unique H\"older continuous solution on Ω\Omega with a given H\"older continuous boundary values if it admits a H\"older continuous subsolution on Ω\Omega. The main step in solving the problem is to establish a new capacity estimate showing that the mm-Hessian measure of a H\"older continuous mm-subharmonic function on Ω\Omega with zero boundary values is dominated by the mm-Hessian capacity with respect to Ω\Omega with an (explicit) exponent τ>1\tau > 1.
