Hypersurfaces of constant Gauss-Kronecker curvature with Li-normalization in affine space

Abstract

For convex hypersurfaces in the affine space ${\mathbb{A}}^{n+1}$ ($n\ge 2$), A.-M.\ Li introduced the notion of $\alpha$-normal field as a generalization of the affine normal field. By studying a Monge-Ampère equation with gradient blowup boundary condition, we show that regular domains in ${\mathbb{A}}^{n+1}$, defined with respect to a proper convex cone and satisfying some regularity assumption if $n\ge 3$, are foliated by complete convex hypersurfaces with constant Gauss-Kronecker curvature relative to the Li-normalization. When $n=2$, a key feature is that no regularity assumption is required, and the result extends our recent work about the $\alpha =1$ case.
