Abstract

We construct convex functions on R3\mathbb{R}^3 and R4\mathbb{R}^4 that are smooth solutions to the Monge-Amp\`{e}re equation detD2u=1\det D^2u = 1 away from compact one-dimensional singular sets, which can be Y-shaped or form the edges of a convex polytope. The examples solve the equation in the Alexandrov sense away from finitely many points. Our approach is based on solving an obstacle problem where the graph of the obstacle is a convex polytope.
