点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

The Monge-Ampere equation, as a premier nonlinear partial differential equation, arises in several areas including geometry, physics, and optimal transportation. Many important problems and applications are related to the regularity of solutions, which are obstructed by singularities. This project aims to classify the geometry of the singular sets, and to establish a comprehensive regularity theory for general Monge-Ampere type equations by using innovative approaches and developing cutting-edge technologies in partial differential equations. Expected outcomes include the resolution of outstanding open problems. This project will significantly enhance Australia’s leadership and expertise in a major area of mathematics and applications.
