摘要: In this short course we discuss the interior a priori estimates for the Monge-Ampere equation, such as the strict convexity, interior $C^{1,\alpha}$, $C^{2,\alpha}$ and $W^{2,p}$ estimates for convex solutions to the Monge-Ampere type equation. We also give a brief discussion on the regularity for more general Monge-Ampere type equations arising in optimal transportation.

摘要:The target audience for this mini-lecture series are graduate students or junior/senior undergrad students with an interest in convex geometry, differential geometry, geometric analysis, or nonlinear PDE. Throughout the lecture series, we will be working with convex bodies in \mathbb{R}^n. The boundaries of these convex bodies are in general not smooth, which makes them natural in the setting of Euclidean geometry. We will see how the missing smoothness assumption impacts our study of boundary shapes; for example, what is the natural replacement of Gauss curvature.
These eventually lead to a family of Minkowski-type problem which characterize geometric measures related to convex bodies. Two problems that we are going to talk about are the classical Minkowski problem and the recently posed dual Minkowski problem (Huang-Lutwak-Yang-Zhang, Acta 2016). Minkowski problems link many fields of mathematics. In particular, in differential geometry, it is known as the problem of prescribing Gauss curvature; in PDE, it reduces to Monge-Ampere type equations. But, we shall discuss how these problems can be solved without any smoothness assumptions on the given data using calculus of variation.
This mini-lecture series is a gentle introduction to get the audience up-to-speed with the most recent research on Minkowski type problems, in particular the dual Minkowski problem which has received much attention in recent years.
