Abstract

We derive a priori interior Hessian estimates for semiconvex solutions to the sigma-2 equation. An elusive Jacobi inequality, a transformation rule under the Legendre–Lewy transform, and a mean value inequality for the still nonuniformly elliptic equation without area structure are the key to our arguments. Previously, this result was known for almost convex solutions.
