This is an introduction to a particular class of auxiliary complex Monge-Amp\`ere equations which had been instrumental in $L^\infty$ estimates for fully non-linear equations and various questions in complex geometry. The essential…
We determine the global behavior of every C^2-solution to the two-dimensional degenerate Monge-Ampere equation, u_{xx}u_{yy}-u_{xy}^2=0, over the finitely punctured plane. With this, we classify every solution in the once or twice punctured…

We construct convex functions on $\mathbb{R}^3$ and $\mathbb{R}^4$ that are smooth solutions to the Monge-Amp\`{e}re equation $\det D^2u = 1$ away from compact one-dimensional singular sets, which can be Y-shaped or form the edges of a…

We consider two natural problems arising in geometry which are equivalent to the local solvability of specific equations of Monge-Ampere type. These are: the problem of locally prescribed Gaussian curvature for surfaces in R^3, and the…
We define a general class of elliptic equations for 2-forms on 4-manifolds, of which the complex Monge-Ampere equation is a prototype. We obtain some regularity results and discuss various connections (some speculative) with modern…

On a K\"ahler manifold we consider the problems of maximizing/minimizing Monge--Amp\`ere energy over certain subsets of the space of K\"ahler potentials. Under suitable assumptions we prove that solutions to these variational problems…

Let $P$ be a convex body containing the origin in its interior. We study a real Monge-Amp\`ere equation with singularities along $\del P$ which is Legendre dual to a certain free boundary Monge-Amp\`ere equation. This is motivated by the…
A wide and natural class of closed currents - which are differences of positive closed currents - can be constructed by pulling back smooth closed forms using rational maps. These currents are very singular in general, and hence defining…
