In this paper, we provide examples to show that for $1 \leq k \leq n/2$, solutions to $k$-Hessian equations $S_k(D^2u)=1$ in the exterior of a strictly convex domain need not be quasiconvex, when prescribing quadratic growth at infinity.…
The curvature estimates of $k$ curvature equations for general right hand side is a longstanding problem. In this paper, we totally solve the $n-1$ case and we also discuss some applications for our estimate.
Using the established $d$-concavity of the $k$-Hessian type functions $F_k(R)=\log(S_k(R)),$ whose variables are nonsymmetric matrices, we prove $ C^{2, \alpha}(\overline{\Omega}) $ estimates for strictly $(\delta, \widetilde{\gamma}_k)…
We prove a generalization of Hsiung-Minkowski formulas for closed submanifolds in semi-Riemannian manifolds with constant curvature. As a corollary, we obtain volume and area upper bounds for k-convex hypersurfaces in terms of a weighted…

In this paper, we establish the interior Hessian estimates for $2$-convex solutions to $\frac{\sigma_2}{\sigma_1} (D^2 u) = \psi (x,u)$ in dimension three. In higher dimensions ($n \geq 4$), we prove the interior Hessian estimates for…

We derive a priori interior Hessian estimates and regularity for the sigma-2 Hessian equation $\sigma_{2}(D^2u)=f(x,u,Du)$ with positive $C^{1,1}$ right hand side in dimension 4. In higher dimensions, the same result holds under an…
In this paper, we study the interior $C^2$ regularity problem for the Hessian quotient equation $\left(\frac{\sigma_n}{\sigma_k}\right)(D^2u)=f$. We give a complete answer to this longstanding problem: for $k=n-1,n-2$, we establish an…
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…
We study the Hessian of the fundamental solution to the parabolic problem for weighted Schr\"odinger operators of the form $\frac 12 \Delta+\nabla h-V$ proving a second order Feynman-Kac formula and obtaining Hessian estimates. For…
We study the exterior Dirichlet problem for the homogeneous $k$-Hessian equation. The prescribed asymptotic behavior at infinity of the solution is zero if $k<\frac{n}{2}$, it is $\log|x|+O(1)$ if $k=\frac{n}{2}$ and it is…
The study of the $k$-th elementary symmetric function of the Weyl-Schouten curvature tensor of a Riemannian metric, the so called $\sigma_k$ curvature, has produced many fruitful results in conformal geometry in recent years, especially…
The $C^{1,1}$ estimate of the Dirichlet problem for degenerate $k$-Hessian equations with non-homogenous boundary conditions is an open problem, if the right hand side function $f$ is only assumed to satisfy $f^{1/(k-1)} \in C^{1,1}$. In…
In this paper, we consider the $k$-Hessian equation $S_{k}(D^{2}u)=b(x)f(u)\mbox{ in }\Omega,\,u=+\infty \mbox{ on }\partial\Omega$, where $\Omega$ is a smooth, bounded, strictly convex domain in $\mathbb{R}^{N}$ with $N\geq2$, $b\in \rm…
