Hessian quotient equations on exterior domains

It is well-known that a celebrated Jörgens-Calabi-Pogorelov theorem for Monge-Ampère equations states that any classical (viscosity) convex solution of $ \det(D^2u) = 1 $ in $ \mathbb{R}^n $ must be a quadratic polynomial. Therefore, it is an interesting topic to study the existence and uniqueness theorem of such fully nonlinear partial differential equations' Dirichlet problems on exterior domains with suitable asymptotic conditions at infinity. As a continuation of the works of Caffarelli-Li for Monge-Ampère equation and of Bao-Li-Li for $ k $-Hessian equations, this paper is devoted to the solvability of the exterior Dirichlet problem of Hessian quotient equations $ \sigma_k(\lambda(D^2u))/\sigma_l(\lambda(D^2u)) = 1 $ for any $ 1\leq l<k\leq n $ in all dimensions $ n\geq 2 $. By introducing the concept of generalized symmetric subsolutions and then using the Perron's method, we establish the existence theorem for viscosity solutions, with prescribed asymptotic behavior which is close to some quadratic polynomial at infinity.

Abstract

It is well-known that a celebrated Jörgens-Calabi-Pogorelov theorem for Monge-Ampère equations states that any classical (viscosity) convex solution of $ \det(D^2u) = 1 $ in $ \mathbb{R}^n $ must be a quadratic polynomial. Therefore, it is an interesting topic to study the existence and uniqueness theorem of such fully nonlinear partial differential equations' Dirichlet problems on exterior domains with suitable asymptotic conditions at infinity. As a continuation of the works of Caffarelli-Li for Monge-Ampère equation and of Bao-Li-Li for $ k $-Hessian equations, this paper is devoted to the solvability of the exterior Dirichlet problem of Hessian quotient equations $ \sigma_k(\lambda(D^2u))/\sigma_l(\lambda(D^2u)) = 1 $ for any $ 1\leq l<k\leq n $ in all dimensions $ n\geq 2 $. By introducing the concept of generalized symmetric subsolutions and then using the Perron's method, we establish the existence theorem for viscosity solutions, with prescribed asymptotic behavior which is close to some quadratic polynomial at infinity.
