Pogorelov interior estimates and a Liouville theorem for the complex Monge--Ampère equation
Abstract
We prove a Pogorelov interior estimate for strictly plurisubharmonic solutions of the complex Monge-Ampère equation det(uij̅)=1 with homogeneous Dirichlet data under the condition that, for some constant κ≥ 1, (κuij̅−uisust̅utj̅) is non-negative definite. For κ=1, this gives the estimate for real convex solutions. The estimate depends only on the dimension, κ, and the C0 and C1 norms of the solution. As an application, every smooth entire convex solution of det(uij̅)=1 on ℂn is a real quadratic polynomial. The same conclusion holds if real convexity is assumed only outside a compact subset of ℂn.
