Abstract: We establish sharp $W^{2,p}$ regularity estimates for viscosity solutions of fully nonlinear elliptic equations under minimal, asymptotic assumptions on the governing operator $F$. By means of geometric tangential methods, we show that if the {it recession} of the operator $F$ -- formally given by $F^{\ast }(M):=inft{y}^{-1}F(inftyM)$ -- is convex, then any viscosity solution to the original equation $F(D^{2}u)=f(x)$ is locally of class $W^{2,p}$, provided $fin{L}^p$, $p>d$, with appropriate universal estimates. Our result extends to operators with variable coefficients and in this setting they are new even under convexity of the frozen coefficient operator, $MmapstoF(x_0,M)$, as oscillation is measured only at the recession level. The methods further yield BMO regularity of the hessian, provided the source lies in that space. As a final application, we establish the density of $W^{2,p}$ solutions within the class of all continuous viscosity solutions, for generic fully nonlinear operators $F$. This result gives an alternative tool for treating common issues often faced in the theory of viscosity solutions.
