Chern's affine Bernstein conjecture
Let be smooth and locally uniformly convex, and suppose its graph is an affine maximal graph, meaning that satisfies the affine maximal surface equation
where is the cofactor matrix of . Chern's conjecture. The graph of must be an elliptic paraboloid. This is the two-dimensional affine Bernstein problem; it was proved by Trudinger and Wang in 2000, so the conjecture is solved.
