This equation arises in the context of an affine differential geometric problem as the equation of a parabolic affine sphere (in short PA-sphere) in the unimodular affine real 3-space (see [C1],[C2],[CY] and [LSZ]). Contrary to the case of smooth bounded convex domains, little is known about solutions of (1) when the domain is unbounded. Here, we recall a famous result by K. J örgens which asserts that any solution of (1) onΩ= R2 is a quadratic polynomial (see [J]) and we also mention a previous paper (see [FMM]) where the authors study solutions of (1) on the exterior of a planar domain that are regular at infinity. Since the underlying almost-complex structure of (1) is integrable, one expects PA-spheres (with their canonical conformal structure) to be conveniently described in terms of meromorphic functions. The reader will find in Sect. 2 a complex representation of PA-spheres and, particularly, a complex description for the solutions of (1).
