TL;DR
The paper extends relative pluripotential theory to the Hessian setting on a compact Kähler manifold, developing a robust framework for Hessian equations with prescribed singularities. It introduces relative full mass classes, rooftop envelopes, and an integration-by-parts formalism to study $\omega$-$m$-subharmonic functions and the Hessian operator $H_m$. A key contribution is establishing the relative finite energy class and proving that, under natural integrability conditions on the right-hand side, solutions to $H_m(u)=F(x,u)\omega^n$ exist within a prescribed singularity class and enjoy relative boundedness. Additionally, the authors characterize the finite energy range of the Hessian operator, linking measures representable as Hessian products to energy-control conditions via capacity, thereby bridging variational methods with capacity techniques in the Hessian context.
Abstract
Let $(X,ω)$ be a compact Kähler manifold of dimension $n$ and fix an integer $m$ such that $1\leq m\leq n$. We reformulate most relative pluripotential results of Darvas-DiNezza-Lu's survey \cite{DNL23} to the Hessian setting. As an application, we use a slightly different method and give an characterization of finite energy range of the Hessian operator, which cannot be directly reformulated by \cite{DNL23}. Given a model potential $φ$, we also study degenerate complex Hessian equations of the form $(ω+dd^c \varphi)^m\wedgeω^{n-m}=F(x,\varphi)ω^n$. Under some natrual conditions on $F$, we prove that the solution of this type equation has the same singularity type as $φ$.
