Rotational symmetry conjecture for entire critical k-Hessian solutions

Let uu be a solution on Rn\mathbb{R}^n of the equation

{σk(2u)=enu,σ1(2u),,σk(2u)>0,\begin{cases} \sigma_k(-\nabla^2u)=e^{nu},\\ \sigma_1(-\nabla^2u),\ldots,\sigma_k(-\nabla^2u)>0, \end{cases}

with ρ=0\rho=0 and n=2kn=2k. Here, σj\sigma_j denotes the jj-th elementary symmetric function of the eigenvalues of 2u-\nabla^2u.

Rotational symmetry conjecture. Every such solution uu on Rn\mathbb{R}^n is rotationally symmetric.

This is a conjecture for critical-dimension kk-Hessian equations, motivated by the paper's Liouville theorem and presented as a direction for future work. The source does not state a resolution, so its status remains open.
