Sobolev inequalities and regularity of the linearized complex Monge-Ampere and Hessian equations

Let $u$ be a smooth, strictly $k$-plurisubharmonic function on a bounded domain $\Omega\in\mathbb C^n$ with $2\leq k\leq n$. The purpose of this paper is to study the regularity of solution to the linearized complex Monge-Amp\`ere and Hessian equations when the complex $k$-Hessian $H_k[u]$ of $u$ is bounded from above and below. We first establish some estimates of Green's functions associated to the linearized equations. Then we prove a class of new Sobolev inequalities. With these inequalities, we use Moser's iteration to investigate the a priori estimates of Hessian equations and their linearized equations, as well as the K\"ahler scalar curvature equation. In particular, we obtain the Harnack inequality for the linearized complex Monge-Amp\`ere and Hessian equations under an extra integrability condition on the coefficients. The approach works in both real and complex case.Comment: 34 pages. Comments welcome

Scaling of entanglement at quantum phase transition for two-dimensional array of quantum dots

With Hubbard model, the entanglement scaling behavior in a two-dimensional itinerant system is investigated. It has been found that, on the two sides of the critical point denoting an inherent quantum phase transition (QPT), the entanglement follows different scalings with the size just as an order parameter does. This fact reveals the subtle role played by the entanglement in QPT as a fungible physical resource
