Liouville conjecture for entire 2-convex solutions of the 2-Hessian equation

Let uC4(Rn)u\in C^4(\mathbb{R}^n) be an entire 2-convex function, meaning that its Hessian eigenvalues lie in the closure of the 22-Hessian ellipticity cone, and suppose that

σ2(D2u(x))=1\sigma_2(D^2u(x))=1

throughout Rn\mathbb{R}^n. Assume also that uu has the quadratic growth specified in the source. Liouville conjecture. Every such solution is a quadratic polynomial. This conjecture asks whether the lower bound on σ3(D2u)\sigma_3(D^2u) in the preceding theorem can be removed; the paper proves the corresponding result under that bound, and proves it without the bound when n=3n=3.
