\(W^{1,p}_{\varphi}\)-estimates for Green's functions of the linearized Monge-Ampère operator (Q512827): Difference between revisions

For a function \(\varphi \in C^3(\mathbb{R}^n)\) with Hessian matrix satisfying \(D^2\varphi>0\) in \(\mathbb{R}^n\), define the operator \[ L_\varphi(u):= \text{trace} (A_\varphi D^2 u), \] as the linearization at \(\varphi\) in the direction of \(u\) of the Monge-Ampère operator \[ v\to \det D^2v. \] Specifically, \[ A_\varphi (x): = [D^2\varphi(x)]^{-1} \det D^2\varphi(x). \] Define also the adapted gradient \[ \nabla^\varphi h(x): = [D^2\varphi(x)]^{-1/2} \nabla h(x), \] and the Monge-Ampère measure associated to \(\varphi\), \(\mu_\varphi:= \det D^2\varphi.\) The main theorem of this paper contains \(L^p\) (relative to the measure \(\mu_\varphi\)) estimates for the adapted gradient of the Green's kernel of the operator \(L_\varphi\).
