Matrix inequalities and the complex Monge-Ampère operator
We study two known theorems regarding Hermitian matrices: Bellman's principle and Hadamard's theorem. Then we apply them to problems for the complex Monge-Ampère operator. We use Bellman's principle and the theory for plurisubharmonic functions of finite energy to prove a version of subadditivity for the complex Monge-Ampère operator. Then we show how Hadamard's theorem can be extended to polyradial plurisubharmonic functions.
