The $k$-Hessian operator $\sigma_k$ is the $k$-th elementary symmetric function of the eigenvalues of the Hessian. It is known that the $k$-Hessian equation $\sigma_k(D^2u)=f$ with Dirichlet boundary condition $u=0$ is variational; indeed,…

In this paper, we study a Dirichlet problem of a fractional Laplace equation in a bounded Lipschitz domain in $ \R, n \geq 2$. Our main result is that for the given data $F \in \dot H^s(\Om^c), 0 < s<1$, we find the function which satisfies…
We study conformal deformation problems on manifolds with boundary which include prescribing $\sigma_k\equiv0$ in the interior. In particular, we prove a Dirichlet principle when the induced metric on the boundary is fixed and an Obata-type…
We study the Dirichlet problem for fully nonlinear, degenerate elliptic equations of the form f(Hess, u)=0 on a smoothly bounded domain D in R^n. In our approach the equation is replaced by a subset F of the space of symmetric nxn-matrices,…

In [1], Caffarelli-Charro introduced a fractional Monge-Amp\`{e}re operator. Later, Wu [17] generalized it to a fractional analogue of $k$-Hessian operators and proved the strict ellipticity for $k=2$. In this paper, we introduce a…
