Abstract: We derive local $C^2$ estimates for complete non-compact translating solitons of the Gauss curvature flow in $mathbb{R}^3$ which are graphs over a convex domain $Omega$. This is closely is related to deriving local $C^{1,1}$ estimates for the degenerate Monge-Amp'ere equation. As a result, given a weakly convex bounded domain $Omega$, we establish the existence of a $C_{extloc}^{1,1}$ translating soliton. In particular, when the boundary $partialOmega$ has a line segment, we show the existence of flat sides of the translator from a local a'priori non-degeneracy estimate near the free-boundary.
