TL;DR
This work develops a comprehensive framework for fully nonlinear elliptic equations on noncompact complex manifolds, establishing C0–C2 a priori estimates and existence results under bounded geometry and a bounded global Kähler potential. The authors implement ε-regularization and a continuity-type approach to solve F(A)=h(x,u) on complete Kähler/Hermitian manifolds, and then upgrade regularity via Evans–Krylov and bootstrapping. They apply the theory to Monge-Ampère-type equations, obtaining solutions that yield complete Kähler metrics with prescribed volume forms and complete Chern-Einstein metrics on Hermitian manifolds. The methodology also encompasses (n−1) Monge-Ampère equations, unifying several complex Hessian-type problems in noncompact settings and enabling geometric constructions on strictly pseudoconvex domains.
Abstract
In this paper, we obtain the a priori estimates and the existence results for solutions of a general class of fully non-linear equations on noncompact Kähler and Hermitian manifolds. As geometric applications, we can construct Kähler metrics with some prescribed volume forms on strictly pseudoconvex domains; and we can construct complete Chern-Einstein metrics on Hermitian manifolds with bounded geometry.
