Remarks on the Homogeneous Complex Monge-Ampère Equation

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Trends in Mathematics ((TM))

Abstract

We refine the arguments in [12] to show that the extended norm of Bedford-Taylor is in fact exact the same as the original Chern-Levine-Nirenberg intrinsic norm, thus provides a proof of the Chern-Levine-Nirenberg conjecture. The result can be generalized to deal with homogeneous Monge-Ampère equation on any complex manifold.
