Abstract: We derive a priori estimates for second order derivatives of solutions to a wide calss of fully nonlinear elliptic equations on Riemannian manifolds. The equations we consider naturally appear in geometric problems and other applications such as optimal transportation. There are some fundamental assumptions in the literature to ensure the equations to be elliptic and that one can apply Evans-Krylov theorem once estimates up to second derivatives are derived. However, in previous work one needed extra assumptions which are more technical in nature to overcome various difficulties. In this paper we are able to remove most of these technical assumptions. Indeed, we derive the estimates under conditions which are almost optimal, and prove existence results for the Dirichlet problem which are new even for bounded domains in Euclidean space. Moreover, our methods can be applied to other types of nonlinear elliptic and parabolic equations, including those on complex manifolds.
