Title: Pogorelov type estimates for semi-convex solutions of Hessian equations and related rigidity theorems
(Submitted on 5 May 2024)
Abstract: In this paper, we establish Pogorelov type $C^2$ estimates for semi-convex admissible solutions to the Dirichlet problem of $k$-Hessian equation with general right hand side. Under some sufficient conditions, we apply such estimates to obtain rigidity theorems for semi-convex admissible solutions of $k$-Hessian equation, which can be seen as a improvement of Li-Ren-Wang and Chu-Dinew's rigidity theorem for $k$-Hessian equation. When $2k>n$, we also obtain Pogorelov type $C^2$ estimates for admissible solutions to the Dirichlet problem of $k$-Hessian equation based on a concavity inequality, which is inspired by the Ren-Wang's work on the global curvature estimates for the $n-1$ and $n-2$ curvature equation.
