Variable-right-hand-side sigma-2 over sigma-1 estimates in dimension four
Determine whether purely local \(C^2\) estimates hold for strictly 2-convex solutions of the Hessian quotient equation \(\sigma_2(D^2u)/\sigma_1(D^2u)=\psi(x,u)\) in dimension \(n=4\) when the right-hand side is nonconstant.
References
Whether one can conclude the result for strictly $2$-convex solutions in dimension $n=4$ with a non-constant right-hand side is unclear at the time when we write this manuscript.
