Continuity of the Complex Monge-Ampere Operator on Compact Kahler Manifolds

We develop an alternative approach to Degenerate complex Monge-Amp\`ere equations on compact K\"ahler manifolds based on the concept of viscosity solutions and compare systematically viscosity concepts with pluripotential theoretic ones. We generalize to the K\"ahler case a theorem due to Dinew and Zhang in the projective case to the effect that their pluripotential solutions constructed previously by the authors are continuous.

We study the parabolic complex Monge-Amp\`ere type equations on closed Hermitian manfolds. We derive uniform $C^\infty$ {\em a priori} estimates for normalized solutions, and then prove the $C^\infty$ convergence. The result also yields a way to carry out method of continuity for elliptic Monge-Amp\'ere type equations.

We generalize Yau's estimates for the complex Monge-Ampere equation on compact manifolds in the case when the background metric is no longer Kahler. We prove $C^{\infty}$ a priori estimates for a solution of the complex Monge-Ampere equation when the background metric is Hermitian (in complex dimension two) or balanced (in higher dimensions), giving an alternative proof of a theorem of Cherrier. We relate this to recent results of Guan-Li.

We establish the monotonicity property for the mass of non-pluripolar products on compact Kahler manifolds, and we initiate the study of complex Monge-Ampere type equations with prescribed singularity type. Using the variational method of Berman-Boucksom-Guedj-Zeriahi we prove existence and uniqueness of solutions with small unbounded locus. We give applications to Kahler-Einstein metrics with prescribed singularity, and we show that the log-concavity property holds for non-p...

We study degenerate complex Monge-Amp\`ere equations on a compact K\"ahler manifold $(X,\omega)$. We show that the complex Monge-Amp\`ere operator $(\omega + dd^c \cdot)^n$ is well-defined on the class ${\mathcal E}(X,\omega)$ of $\omega$-plurisubharmonic functions with finite weighted Monge-Amp\`ere energy. The class ${\mathcal E}(X,\omega)$ is the largest class of $\omega$-psh functions on which the Monge-Amp\`ere operator is well-defined and the comparison principle is val...

We describe the behavior of the singularities of solutions to degenerate complex Monge-Amp`ere equations on K\"ahler manifolds. This was not resolved since the fundamental paper of S-T Yau \cite{y} on this subject.

We prove the existence and uniqueness of the solutions of some very general type of degenerate complex Monge-Amp\`ere equations. This type of equations is precisely what is needed in order to construct K\"ahler-Einstein metrics over irreducible singular K\"ahler spaces with ample or trivial canonical sheaf and singular K\"ahler-Einstein metrics over varieties of general type.

We prove the existence and uniqueness of continuous solutions to the complex Monge-Amp\`ere type equation with the right hand side in $L^p$, $p>1$, on compact Hermitian manifolds. Next, we generalise results of Eyssidieux, Guedj and Zeriahi \cite{EGZ09, EGZ11} to compact Hermitian manifolds which {\em a priori} are not in the Fujiki class. These generalisations lead to a number of applications: we obtain partial results on a conjecture of Tosatti and Weinkove \cite{TW12a} and...

The main result asserts the existence of continuous solutions of the complex Monge-Amp\`ere equation with the right hand side in $L^p, p>1$, on compact Hermitian manifolds.

In this paper, we are interested in studying the Dirichlet problem for the complex Monge-Amp\`ere operator. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the problem to have H\"older continuous solutions.
