Solvability conjecture for positive Hessian quotient equations

Let MM be a connected, closed Riemannian manifold with metric gg, and let χ\chi be a symmetric (2,0)(2,0) tensor on MM. Suppose that there is an admissible function vC4(M)v\in C^4(M) in the sense of Definition

. For $1\leq l\leq n-1$, let $F=\frac{\sigma_n}{\sigma_l}$ be the positive Hessian quotient operator. **Solvability conjecture.** The equation

is solvable for any smooth right-hand side, up to a multiplicative constant. This conjecture proposes a general solvability result for positive Hessian quotient equations on closed Riemannian manifolds; the supplied text does not state whether it has been proved or disproved.
