A Rigidity theorem for parabolic 2-Hessian equations

Abstract

In this paper, we consider the entire solutions to the parabolic $2$-Hessian equations of the form $-u_t\sigma_2(D^2 u)=1$ in $\mathbb{R}^n\times (-\infty,0]$. We prove some rigidity theorems for the parabolic $2$-Hessian equations in $\mathbb{R}^n\times (-\infty,0]$ by establishing Pogorelov type estimates for $2$-convex-monotone solutions of the parabolic $2$-Hessian equations.
