Solutions of fully nonlinear equations with patches of zero gradient: existence, regularity and convexity of level curves
 
 
Description:  In this talk (a joint work with Luis Caffarelli), we are going to report on the construction of viscosity solutions (in the Crandall-Lions sense) of fully nonlinear equations of the form $F(D^2 u,x) = g(x,u)$ on $\{|\nabla u| \ne 0$. By an appropiate use of the Alexandroff-Backelmann technique, we prove existence, regularity and, in two dimensions, for $F=\Delta$, $g = cu$ ($c>0$) and constant boundary conditions on a convex domain, we prove that there is only one convex patch.
