Abstract: We prove that generalised Monge-Amp`ere equations (a family of equations which includes the inverse Hessian equations like the $J$-equation, as well as the Monge-Amp`ere equation) on projective manifolds have smooth solutions if certain intersection numbers are positive. As corollaries of our work, we improve a result of Chen (albeit in the projective case) on the existence of solutions to the $J$-equation, and prove a conjecture of Sz'ekelyhidi in the projective case on the solvability of certain inverse Hessian equations. The key new ingredient in improving Chen's result is a degenerate concentration of mass result. We also prove an equivariant version of our results, albeit under the assumption of uniform positivity. In particular, we can recover existing results on manifolds with large symmetry such as projective toric manifolds.

Review text

Let's consider a projective complex manifold \(M\) of complex dimension \(n\) and the following \textit{generalized Monge-Ampère equation} (the unknown is a Kähler metric \(\Omega\) in a fixed Kähler class \([\Omega_0]\)) \[ \Omega^n = \sum_{k=1}^{n-1} c_k \chi^{n-k} \Omega^{k} + f\chi^n\] where \(\chi\) is a fixed Kähler metric, \(f\) is a smooth function and \(c_k\) are constants. Note that some natural constraints are also required on \(f\) and \(c_k\). Apart from the classical Monge-Ampère equation studied by S. T. Yau, this very general equation covers many PDE including the J-equation studied by S. K. Donaldson and X. X. Chen and some special cases of the deformed Hermtian Yang-Mills equations. The main result of this very nice paper provides an equivalence between the existence of a smooth solution to above equation and the positivity of the intersection numbers \[\int_V \left(\binom{n}{p} [\Omega_0]^{n-p} - \sum_{k=p}^{n-1}c_k \binom{k}{p} [\chi]^{n-k} [\Omega_0]^{k-p}\right)>0\] for all subvarieties \(V\subset M\) of co-dimension \(p\). This improves in the projective setting a recent result of \textit{G. Chen} [Invent. Math. 225, No. 2, 529--602 (2021; Zbl 1481.53093)] who studied the J-equation and needed a uniform condition of positivity on the intersection numbers (see also the paper of \textit{J. Song} [``Nakai-Moishezon criterions for complex Hessian equations, Preprint, \url{arXiv:2012.07956}]). Consequently, it confirms conjectures of \textit{M. Lejmi} and \textit{G. Székelyhidi} [Adv. Math. 274, 404--431 (2015; Zbl 1370.53051)] about the J-equation and some Hessian equations. The proof is based on a continuity method and the use of degenerate mass concentration result. Eventually, the authors prove an equivariant version of the main result. The paper is well written.
