Regularity of the degenerate Monge-Amp`ere equation on compact K¨ahler manifolds Zbigniew Bl´ocki Jagiellonian University, Institute of Mathematics, Reymonta 4, 30-059 Krak´ow, Poland (e-mail blocki@im.uj.edu.pl) c Springer-Verlag 2003 Received: 18 April 2002 / Published online: 24 February 2003 – . Abstract. We study the C 1,1 and Lipschitz regularity of the solutions of the degenerate complex Monge-Amp`ere equation on compact K¨ahler manifolds. In particular, in view of the local regularity for the complex MongeAmp`ere equation, the obtained C 1,1 regularity is a generalization of the Yau theorem which deals with the nondegenerate case. 1. Introduction Let M be a compact K¨ahler manifold of the complex dimension n, n ≥ 2, with the K¨ahler form ω. We will say that a function ϕ on M is admissible if it is upper semi-continuous, locally integrable and such that ddc ϕ + ω ≥ 0, √ where d = ∂ + ∂¯ and dc = −1(∂¯ − ∂). The complex Monge-Amp`ere equation on M takes the form (1.1). (ddc ϕ + ω)n = f ω n ,. where ω n = ω ∧ . . . ∧ ω. We shall normalize ϕ by  (1.2) ϕω n = 0. M. A necessary condition for f is   n (1.3) fω = M. M. Partially supported by KBN Grant #2 P03A 028 19. ωn..

(2) 154. Z. Bl´ocki. In his famous paper [Y] Yau proved that for every positive C ∞ function f on M satisfying (1.3) there exists the unique C ∞ admissible ϕ satisfying (1.1) and (1.2) (the uniqueness had been earlier shown by Calabi). This result implies the Calabi conjecture. The degenerate equation was recently studied by Kol´odziej in [K1] and [K2]. By [BT] it is known that the left hand-side of (1.1) makes sense as a nonnegative Borel measure for bounded admissible ϕ. Throughout the rest of the paper we will assume that f is a nonnegative function on M satisfying (1.3) which belongs to Lq (M ) for some q > 1 and that ϕ is a continuous admissible solution of (1.1)-(1.2). The reason is that in this case, as shown in [K1], such a solution indeed exists and by [K2] (see also [B2]) it is in fact unique among all locally bounded admissible functions on M . In this paper we study the regularity of (1.1) in the degenerate case. We will say that ϕ is almost C 1,1 if ∆ϕ is bounded. This is equivalent to the fact that the mixed complex derivatives ϕi¯j = ∂ 2 ϕ/∂zi ∂ z¯j are bounded for i, j = 1, . . . , n. Every almost C 1,1 function belongs to W 2,p for all p < ∞, and thus to C 1,α for all α < 1. But it does not necessarily belong to W 2,∞ = C 1,1 . Our main result is the following: Theorem 1.1. If f 1/(n−1) is C 1,1 then ϕ is almost C 1,1 . Moreover, we have sup |∆ϕ| ≤ C, M. where C depends only on M and on an upper bound for ||f 1/(n−1) ||C 1,1 . The exponent 1/(n−1) appears naturally in the study of the real degenerate Monge-Amp`ere equation, see [G] and [GTW]. Theorem 1.1 generalizes the Yau theorem in view of the local regularity of the complex MongeAmp`ere equation (see [B1, Theorem 2.6]). We also get a result on Lipschitz regularity of the solutions of (1.1). However, we have been able to prove it only if either M has nonnegative bisectional curvature or ϕ is closed to a constant in the L∞ norm: Theorem 1.2. Assume that M has nonnegative bisectional curvature. If f 1/n is Lipschitz continuous then so is ϕ. Moreover, sup |Dϕ| ≤ C, M. where C depends only on M and on upper bound for ||f 1/n ||C 0,1 . Theorem 1.3. There exists a positive constant δ depending only on M such that if ||ϕ||L∞ ≤ δ and f 1/n is Lipschitz continuous then ϕ is Lipschitz continuous. Moreover, sup |Dϕ| ≤ C, M.

(3) Monge-Amp`ere equation on compact K¨ahler manifolds. 155. where C depends only on M and on an upper bound for ||f 1/n ||C 0,1 . By [K2, Corollary 4.4] it follows that there exists another positive constant δ  depending only on M such that if ||f − 1||L1 ≤ δ  then ||ϕ||L∞ ≤ δ. The proofs of Theorems 1.1-1.3 will proceed as follows. First, smoothing f in a right way and using the stability result from [K2] (or another one from [B2]) we reduce the problem to proving the estimate in the case when f > 0 and f is C ∞ . In such a case the Yau theorem implies that ϕ must be C ∞ . When showing these estimates we will use the following L∞ -estimate for the solutions of (1.1)-(1.2) (see [K1] or [T, p. 49-51]): (1.4). ||ϕ||L∞ ≤ C,. where C depends only on M and on ||f ||L∞ . 2. Preliminaries By c1 , c2 , . . . we will denote positive constants depending only on M . Since dω = 0, it follows that locally √ there exists a smooth plurisubharmonic function g with ω = ddc g = 2 −1∂∂g. Then  √ gi¯j −1dzi ∧ d¯ zj . ω=2 i,j. We can find a finite number of coordinate systems covering M where such a g exists, (2.1). (gi¯j ) ≥. and (2.2). ||g||C 3,1 =. . 1 (δij ) c1 ||Dk g||L∞ ≤ c2 .. 0≤k≤4. In what follows we will only use this finite number of charts and there we will always choose orthonormal coordinates, so that in particular the inequalities (2.1) and (2.2) will not be affected. The condition that ϕ is admissible reads that the function u := ϕ + g is plurisubharmonic. We will say that ϕ is strongly admissible if there exists ε > 0 such that ddc ϕ + ω ≥ εω. This is of course equivalent to the fact that u is strongly plurisubharmonic. If ϕ is in addition smooth then the equation (1.1) takes the form det(ui¯j ) = f det(gi¯j )..

When proving an a priori estimate by C1 , C2 , . . . we will denote constants that depend only on the desired quantities and will say that they are under control. 3. The C 1,1 regularity Proof of Theorem 1.1. The partition  of unity gives a finite number of smooth functions {γ k } on M such that k γk = 1, 0 ≤ γk ≤ 1, and the support of every γk is contained in a chart. For ε > 0 set   γk f 1/(n−1) ∗ ρkε + ε, gε := k. where ρkε is a standard regularizing kernel in a chart. We can find suitable constants µε such that the functions fε := µε gεn−1 are positive, C ∞ , satisfy (1.2), tend uniformly to f and ||fε1/(n−1) ||C 1,1 ≤ C1 . Now, if ϕε are the corresponding solutions of (1.1) given by the Yau theorem, then [K2, Corollary 4.4] implies that ϕε → ϕ uniformly as ε → 0 (by [B2, Theorem 3] we have the convergence in L2n/(n−1) which is also sufficient). We may therefore assume that ϕ is C ∞ and strongly admissible. Note that n 1 ¯ ∆ϕ = g ij ϕi¯j > − 2 2 and it is therefore enough to estimate ∆ϕ from above. Denote G := (gi¯j ), U := (ui¯j ) and set V := G−1/2 U G−1/2 . Then V is a positive hermitian matrix and one can easily show that the eigenvalues of V do not depend on the choice of holomorphic coordinates and thus they are the same in every chart. By λmax (V ) denote the maximal eigenvalue of V . Set α := log λmax (V ) − ϕ..

We have   T λmax (V ) = max ζ V ζ : ζ ∈ Cn , |ζ| = 1   T T = max ζ U ζ : ζ ∈ Cn , ζ Gζ = |G1/2 ζ|2 = 1 . uζ ζ¯ = max : ζ ∈ Cn \ {0} , gζ ζ¯ T. where uζ ζ¯ = ζ U ζ = such that.  i,j. ui¯j ζi ζ j .

We shall now use an idea from the proof of [GTW, Lemma 2.1]. We will need an elementary lemma: Lemma Ω be a domain in Rm and let ψ ∈ C 1,1 (Ω) be nonnegative. √ 3.1. Let 0,1 Then ψ ∈ C (Ω) and.

If ψ(x) ≥ r2 then |(D. |Dψ(x)| |Dψ(x)| . ≤ ψ)(x)| = 2r 2 ψ(x). 2 m We may thus assume √ that ψ(x) ≤ r . For fixed ζ ∈ R with |ζ| = 1 and t ∈ R with |t| ≤ r set h(t) := ψ(x + tζ). We may assume that h (0) ≤ 0 (otherwise consider −ζ instead of ζ). Set y := ψ(x) = h(0). Then  y 2 h (t)dt. 0 < h(y) = y + 0. We can thus find t ∈ [0, y] such that h (t) ≥ −h(0)/y = −y. There exists s ∈ [0, t] with h (s) = Therefore |(Dζ. and the lemma follows.. h (t) − h (0) h (0) ≥ −1 − . t y. |h (0)| 1 + h (s) ψ)(x)| = ≤ 2 2 h(0) √. Remark. One cannot expect that ψ ∈ C 0,1 (Ω) in the assertion of Lemma 3.1. For let for example Ω be the interval (0, 1) in R and ψ(x) = x. Proof of Theorem 1.1 continued. Denoting f := f 1/(n−1) , by Lemma 3.1 we get   C2 f ww¯ |f w |2 (log f )ww¯ = (n − 1) ≥− . (3.1) − f. f 2 f.
