Abstract

Given a convex body KRnK \subset \mathbb{R}^n with the barycenter at the origin we consider the corresponding K{\"a}hler-Einstein equation eΦ=detD2Φe^{-\Phi} = \det D^2 \Phi. If KK is a simplex, then the Ricci tensor of the Hessian metric D2ΦD^2 \Phi is constant and equals n14(n+1)\frac{n-1}{4(n+1)}. We conjecture that the Ricci tensor of D2ΦD^2 \Phi for arbitrary KK is uniformly bounded by n14(n+1)\frac{n-1}{4(n+1)} and verify this conjecture in the two-dimensional case. The general case remains open.
