Convex integration for the Monge-Ampere equation.



November 10, 2017
3-4 PM, PGH 646


Abstract

Following my colloquium talk earlier this week, I will present the convex integration scheme (a la Nash & Kuiper) and details of the rigidity arguments for the Monge-Ampere equation on a two-dimensional set Ω. In particular, we will see that for any f ∈ L2(Ω), any continuous function v0 in Ω, and any exponent α < 1/7, there exists a sequence of exact (weak) solutions vn ∈ C1,α to the equation det(∇v) = f in Ω, that converges uniformly to v0. On the other hand, this is largely impossible when α > 2/3.
