Interior Hessian estimates for a class of Hessian type equations (Q2680541)

In this paper, the authors study the Hessian quotient equation \[ \frac{\sigma_k(\eta)}{\sigma_l(\eta)}=f(x) \] for combinatory indices \(k, l\), where \(\eta_i\equiv\Sigma_{j\not=i}\lambda_j\) and \(\lambda=(\lambda_1,\dots,\lambda_n)\) are the eigenvalues of the Hessian matrix \(D^2u\). An interior Hessian estimate \[ |D^2u(0)|\leq C\Bigg(1+\frac{\sup|Du|}{R}\Bigg) \] without strictly convexity and an interior Hessian estimate \[ (-u)|D^2u|\leq C \] of Pogorelov type upon strictly convexity were derived. As an application, the authors also obtained a Liouville property under the assumption of pointwise quadratic growth.
