Abstract: |
In this paper we prove the interior gradient and second derivative estimates for a
class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations determined by symmetric functions of eigenvalues
of the Ricci or Schouten tensors. As an application we prove the existence of solutions
to the equations when the manifold is locally conformally flat or the Ricci curvature is
positive. |
