A Bernstein Theorem for the Self-Shrinking J-Equation and Some Generalizations
Abstract
We prove that every entire smooth strictly plurisubharmonic solution of the self-shrinking J-equation on ℂn is a quadratic polynomial. This removes the asymptotic lower bound assumption on the complex Hessian in \cite[Theorem 4]{HJ}. The result also recovers the corresponding real rigidity theorem in \cite[Theorem 1.1]{HOW} as a special case. More generally, our method applies to self-shrinking equations associated with a broad class of fully nonlinear elliptic operators satisfying suitable structural conditions, including the adjacent inverse complex Hessian quotient operators −σk−1/σk, 1≤ k≤ n. For the remaining quotients −σl/σk with l<k−1, we prove the same rigidity conclusion under the additional assumption that the solution is proper.
