A boundary value problem for minimal Lagrangian graphs (Q982673)

The product \(\mathbb{R}^n\times \mathbb{R}^n\) equipped with Euclidean metric has a natural complex structure given by the following \[ J{\partial\over\partial x_k}= {\partial\over\partial y_k},\qquad J{\partial\over\partial y_k}= -{\partial\over\partial x_k}. \] The associated symplectic structure is given by \[ \omega= \sum^n_{k=1} dx_k\wedge dy_k. \] A submanifold \(\Sigma\subset\mathbb{R}^n\times \mathbb{R}^n\) is called Lagrangian if \(\omega|_\Sigma= 0\). A boundary value problem for minimal Lagrangian graphs in \(\mathbb{R}^n\times \mathbb{R}^n\) is studied. Let \(\Omega,\overline\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n\) be two domains with smooth boundary, and let \(f: \Omega\to\overline\Omega\) be a diffeomorphism. The graph of \(f\) is determined by \[ \Sigma= \{(x, f(x)): x\in \Omega\}\subset\mathbb{R}^n\times \mathbb{R}^n. \] The main problem is the finding of the diffeomorphism \(f: \Omega\to\overline\Omega\) such that \(\Sigma\) is Lagrangian and has a degenerated mean curvature. It is proved that such a diffeomorphism exists if the domains \(\Omega\) and \(\overline\Omega\) are uniformly convex.
