The Monge-Amp\`ere system in dimension two is fully flexible in codimension two

Abstract

We prove that every $\mathcal{C}^1(\bar\omega)$-regular subsolution of the Monge-Amp\`ere system posed on a $2$-dimensional domain $\omega$ and with target codimension $2$, can be uniformly approximated by its exact solutions with regularity $\mathcal{C}^{1,\alpha}(\bar\omega)$ for any $\alpha<\min\{1, \frac{s+\beta}{2}\}$, where $\mathcal{C}^{s,\beta}$ is the assumed regularity of the system's right hand side. This result suggests the full flexibility of Poznyak's theorem for isometric immersions of $2$d Riemannian manifolds into $\mathbb{R}^4$, and asserts it in the parallel setting of the Monge-Amp\`ere system.
