Measure-valued Hessian conjecture for Lipschitz subsolutions

About 2 years old · traced to

Let ww be a Lipschitz subsolution to the generalized kk-convexity equation for β=1\beta=1. A measure-valued Hessian conjecture asserts that there exist signed Borel measures muij=mujimu^{ij}=mu^{ji} such that

∫Rnw ∂ijϕ(x) dx=∫Rnϕ(x) dμij(x),i,j=1,2,…,n,\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} w \, \partial_{ij} \phi(x) \, dx=\int_{\mathbb{R}^n} \phi(x) \, d\mu^{ij}(x),\qquad i,j=1,2,\ldots,n,

for every ϕ∈Cc∞(Rn)\phi\in C_c^\infty(\mathbb{R}^n). This would say that every such subsolution has a distributional Hessian represented componentwise by signed Borel measures. The statement concerns second-order regularity of viscosity subsolutions, but the supplied text does not establish whether it is proved or remains open.
