Global analyticity of affine hyperbolic spheres in the even dimensional space

Abstract

A number of geometric problems, including affine hyperbolic spheres, Hilbert metrics and Minkowski type problems, are reduced to a singular Monge-Amp\`ere equation which can be written locally as a class of Monge-Amp\`ere equations with singularity at boundary. We estimate the boundary derivatives of all orders for the solutions to the class of singular equations as possible as optimal and prove that the solution to the equation is globally analytic if the dimension of the space is even. As a corollary, we obtain the global analyticity of affine hyperbolic spheres in the even dimensional space.
