講義の概要とねらい

This course is an introduction to the Monge-Ampere equation. After introducing basic concepts such as normal mapping and Monge-Ampere measure, we will study important properties of the Monge-Ampere measure including: weak continuity and invariance property. We then study the celebrated Aleksandrov's maximum principle, the comparison principle, John's lemma and applications. Finally, we will discuss the Dirichlet problem and sections of convex solutions to the Monge-Ampere equation.
The Monge-Ampere equation appears in many areas and applications including affine geometry, convex geometry, optimal transportation and meteorology. The Monge-Ampere equation and its applications is a very active area of research. This course hopes to provide solid background and motivate interested students entering this research area.
