In this paper, we prove a $C^{1,1}$ estimate for solutions of complex Monge-Amp\`{e}re equations on compact almost Hermitian manifolds. Using this $C^{1,1}$ estimate, we show existence of $C^{1,1}$ solutions to the degenerate…
First, we obtain a new formula for Bremermann type upper envelopes, that arise frequently in convex analysis and pluripotential theory, in terms of the Legendre transform of the convex- or plurisubharmonic-envelope of the boundary data.…
In this paper, we investigate regularity for solutions to the linearized Monge-Amp\`ere equations when the nonhomogeneous term has low integrability. We establish global $W^{1,p}$ estimates for all $p<\frac{nq}{n-q}$ for solutions to the…
We investigate the properties of convex functions in the plane that satisfy a local inequality which generalizes the notion of sub-solution of Monge-Ampere equation for a Monge-Kantorovich problem with quadratic cost between non-absolutely…
We study the regularity of solutions of one dimensional variational obstacle problems in $W^{1,1}$ when the Lagrangian is locally H\"older continuous and globally elliptic. In the spirit of the work of Sychev ([Syc89, Syc91, Syc92]), a…
We prove that if a smoothly bounded strongly pseudoconvex domain $D \subset \mathbb C^n$, $n \geq 2$, admits at least one Monge-Amp\`ere exhaustion smooth up to the boundary (i.e. a plurisubharmonic exhaustion $\tau: \overline D \to [0,1]$,…
This paper is devoted to the regularity analysis of a geodesic equation in the space of Sasakian metrics. Firstly, we reduce the geodesic equation in the space of Sasakian metrics to a Dirichlet problem of degenerate complex Monge-Amp\'ere…
We study the doubly nonlinear PDE $$ |\partial_t u|^{p-2}\,\partial_t u-\textrm{div}(|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u)=0. $$ This equation arises in the study of extremals of Poincar\'e inequalities in Sobolev spaces. We prove spatial Lipschitz…
We solve a general class of free boundary Monge-Amp\`ere equations given by \[ \det D^2u = \lambda \dfrac{f(-u)}{g(u^\star)h(\nabla u)}\chi_{\{u<0\}} \; \text{ in } \mathbb{R}^n, \quad \nabla u (\mathbb{R}^n) = P \] where $P$ is a bounded…
Let $(X,\omega)$ be a compact K\"ahler manifold. We prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions to complex Monge-Amp\`ere equations with prescribed singularity type. Compared to previous work, the assumption of small unbounded locus is…
We study the regularity of the bilinear maximal operator when applied to Sobolev functions, proving that it maps $W^{1,p}(\mathbb{R}) \times W^{1,q}(\mathbb{R}) \to W^{1,r}(\mathbb{R})$ with $1 <p,q < \infty$ and $r\geq 1$, boundedly and…
We construct solutions to Monge-Amp\`ere equations whose Monge-Amp\`ere measures contain singular components supported on low codimensional sets. We also study the regularity of such solutions. To motivate our construction, we present…
We prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions to a Dirichlet problem \[ \begin{cases} Lu = f + v^{-1}\text{Div}(v{\bf e} h), & x \in \Omega; u = 0, & x \in \partial \Omega, \end{cases}\] where $L$ is a degenerate, linear, second order…

We prove a sharp global $W^{2,\,p}$ estimate for potentials of optimal transport maps that take a certain class of non-convex planar domains to convex ones.
We consider an elliptic Kolmogorov equation $\lambda u - Ku = f$ in a separable Hilbert space $H$. The Kolmogorov operator $K$ is associated to an infinite dimensional convex gradient system: $dX = (AX - DU(X))dt + dW (t)$, where $A $ is a…
We study the problem of minimizing the second Dirichlet eigenvalue for the Laplacian operator among sets of given perimeter. In two dimensions, we prove that the optimum exists, is convex, regular, and its boundary contains exactly two…
Alexandrov's estimate states that if $\Omega$ is a bounded open convex domain in ${\mathbb R}^n$ and $u:\bar \Omega\to {\mathbb R}$ is a convex solution of the Monge-Ampere equation $\det D^2 u = f$ that vanishes on $\partial \Omega$, then…
Solutions to $p$-Laplace equations are not, in general, of class $C^2$. The study of Sobolev regularity of the second derivatives is, therefore, a crucial issue. An important contribution by Cianchi and Maz'ya shows that, if the source term…
We study a general class of parabolic equations $$ u_t-|Du|^\gamma\big(\Delta u+(p-2) \Delta_\infty^N u\big)=0, $$ which can be highly degenerate or singular. This class contains as special cases the standard parabolic $p$-Laplace equation…
