A Maximum Rank Theorem for Solutions to the Homogenous Complex Monge-Amp\`ere Equation in a C\mathbb{C}-Convex Ring

Suppose $\Omega_0,\Omega_1$ are two bounded strongly $\mathbb{C}$-convex domains in $\mathbb{C}^n$, with $n\geq 2$ and $\Omega_1\supset\overline{\Omega_0}$. Let $\mathcal{R}=\Omega_1\backslash\overline{\Omega_0}$. We call $\mathcal{R}$ a $\mathbb{C}$-convex ring. We will show that for a solution $\Phi$ to the homogenous complex Monge-Amp\`ere equation in $\mathcal{R}$, with $\Phi=1$ on $\partial\Omega_1$ and $\Phi=0$ on $\partial\Omega_0$, $\sqrt{-1}\partial\overline{\partial}\Phi$ has rank $n-1$ and the level sets of $\Phi$ are strongly $\mathbb{C}$-convex

The Preservation of Convexity by Geodesics in the Space of K\"ahler Potentials on Complex Affine Manifolds

On a compact complex affine manifold with a constant coefficient K\"ahler metric $\omega_0$, we introduce a concept: $(S,\omega_0)$-convexity and show that $(S,\omega_0)$-convexity is preserved by geodesics in the space of K\"ahler potentials. This implies that if two potentials are both strictly $(S,\omega_0)$-convex, then the metrics along the geodesic connecting them are non-degenerate.Comment: 2 figure
