We study positive solutions to the fractional semi-linear elliptic equation $$ (- \Delta)^\sigma u = K(x) u^\frac{n + 2 \sigma}{n - 2 \sigma} ~~~~~~ in ~ B_2 \setminus \{ 0 \} $$ with an isolated singularity at the origin, where $K$ is a…

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 study the PDE $\lambda_j(D^2 u) = 0$, in $\Omega$, with $u=g$, on $\partial \Omega$. Here $\lambda_1(D^2 u) \leq ... \leq \lambda_N (D^2 u)$ are the ordered eigenvalues of the Hessian $D^2 u$. First, we show a geometric interpretation of…

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.…

In this paper, we primarily study the Pogorelov-type $C^2$ estimates for $(k-1)$-convex solutions of the sum Hessian equation under the assumption of semi-convexity, and apply these estimates to obtain a rigidity theorem for global…

We establish sharp $C^{2s}$ interior regularity estimates for solutions of fully nonlinear nonlocal equations with bounded right hand side. More precisely, we show that if $I$ is a fully nonlinear nonlocal concave or convex elliptic…

In this paper, we proved that any 2-convex solution $u$ of $\sigma_2(D^2u)=1$ with a quadratic growth must be a quadratic polynomial in $\mathbb{R}^n\ (n\geq 3 )$ by using a Pogorelov estimate and the global gradient estimate. And we give a…

We consider variational integrals of the form $\int F(D^2u)$ where $F$ is convex and smooth on the Hessian space. We show that a critical point $u\in W^{2,\infty}$ of such a functional under compactly supported variations is smooth if the…

We extend the methods of Lewicka - Pakzad, Sz\'ekelyhidi - Cao and Li - Qiu to study the notion of very weak solutions to the complex $\sigma_2$ equation in domains in $\mathbb C^n,\ n\geq 2$. As a by-product we sharpen the regularity…

In this note we are concerned with interior regularity properties of the $p$-Poisson problem $\Delta_p(u)=f$ with $p>2$. For all $0<\lambda\leq 1$ we constuct right-hand sides $f$ of differentiability $-1+\lambda$ such that the (Besov-)…

We study regularity of solutions $u$ to $\overline\partial u=f$ on a relatively compact $C^2$ domain $D$ in a complex manifold of dimension $n$, where $f$ is a $(0,q)$ form. Assume that there are either $(q+1)$ negative or $(n-q)$ positive…

We prove Liouville's theorem for semi-convex entire solutions to Hessian quotient equation $\sigma_2/\sigma_1=1$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$. The proof is based on the observation that after rewriting the quotient operator as the $\sigma_2$ operator,…
