Trudinger–Wang affine Bernstein conjecture
Trudinger–Wang affine Bernstein conjecture
Let be smooth and locally uniformly convex. Write
and
Assume that satisfies
Trudinger–Wang's conjecture. If , then is an elliptic quadratic polynomial. If , then there exists a smooth, locally uniformly convex solution of the equation which is not an elliptic quadratic polynomial. The conjecture describes the sharp dimension threshold for the affine Bernstein problem: the low-dimensional assertion is known in the stated setting, while the higher-dimensional existence assertion is supported by the singular counterexample discussed in the source; the combined formulation is treated here as unresolved.
