Monge-Ampère Equation with Bounded Periodic Data

Abstract

We consider the Monge-Ampère equation det $(D^2u) = f$ in $\mathbb{R}^n,$ where $f$ is a positive bounded periodic function. We prove that $u$ must be the sum of a quadratic polynomial and a periodic function. For $f ≡ 1,$ this is the classic result by Jörgens, Calabi and Pogorelov. For $f ∈ C^α,$ this was proved by Caffarelli and the first named author.
