Liouville theorem for a class of Hessian equations

Abstract

In this paper, we study a general class of Hessian elliptic equations, including the Monge-Amp\`ere equation, the $k$-Hessian equation and $p$-Monge-Amp\`ere equations. We propose new additional condition on the solution and prove Liouville theorem under this assumption. We show that our general condition covers as special cases numerous sets of assumptions known in the literature which were tailored for specific equations. Thus we obtain a significant generalization of multiple isolated Liouville theorems and conditional interior estimates.
