SynopsisWe show that for a large class of Monge-Ampère equations, generalised solutions on a uniformly convex domain Ω⊂ℝn are classical solutions on any pre-assigned subdomain Ω′⋐Ω, provided the solution is almost extremal in a suitable sense. Alternatively, classical regularity holds on subdomains of Ω which are sufficiently distant from ∂Ω. We also show that classical regularity may fail to hold near ∂Ω in the nonextremal case. The main example of the class of equations considered is the equation of prescribed Gauss curvature.

Basic Equality

In an earlier article we obtain a sharp inequality for an arbitrary isometric immersion from a Riemannian manifold admitting a Riemannian submersion with totally geodesic fibres into a unit sphere. In this article we investigate the immersions which satisfy the equality case of the inequality. As a by-product, we discover a new characterisation of Cartan hypersurface in S4.

Lightlike Submanifolds

In this paper we investigate the differential geometry of 1-lightlike submanifolds in anti-de Sitter n-space as an application of the theory of Legendrian singularities. Based on some theory of lightlike submanifolds, we also introduce the notion of 1-lightlike horospherical Gauss curvature, which is important for us to study the singularities of 1-lightlike horospherical hypersurfaces. Moreover, we discuss the related geometric property of 1-lightlike horospherical hypersurfaces in anti-de Sitter n-space.
