2 J.H.G. Fu / Avances in Mathematics 228 ( Theorem 1.1. Let U R n be open, an f 1,f 2,... C 2 (U converge in L 1 loc (U to a function f. Suppose that the absolute integrals of all minors of the Hessians of the f k are uniformly locally boune, i.e. K ( 2 et f k x i x j i I,j J C(K, k = 1, 2,... (2 whenever K U an I,J {1,...,n} have the same carinality. Then (1 the f k are locally uniformly boune, (2 f k f pointwise a.e. in U, (3 both lim sup k f k an lim inf k f k are twice ifferentiable at a.e. x U. Uner the hypotheses of the theorem we will say that f 1,f 2,... is a strong approximation of f. Strongly approximable functions belong to the class of Monge Ampère functions introuce by the present author in [6,7] an generalize by R.L. Jerrar in [11,12]. They are istinguishe by the existence of an integral current D(f in the cotangent bunle T U, representing graph of its ifferential. The key point is that D(f is etermine uniquely (if it exists by a short list of inevitable conitions. Remarks. 1. By the BV compactness theorem, the hypothesis of Theorem 1.1 implies local W 1,1 convergence of a subsequence. 2. If n = 1 then f is strongly approximable iff it is expressible as the ifference of two convex functions. If n = 2 then any ifference of convex functions is strongly approximable, but for n 2 there exist strongly approximable functions that are not ifferences of convex functions. Furthermore, there are pairs of strongly approximable functions whose sum is not strongly approximable (see below. If n 3 then it is not known whether the ifference of convex functions is strongly approximable, or even whether it is Monge Ampère. Alexanrov s theorem is a special case of Theorem 1.1: if f is convex then any locally uniform approximation by smooth convex functions (as may be obtaine, for example, by convolution with an approximate ientity is a strong approximation. But Theorem 1.1 is significantly stronger: even though a convex function f may fail to have first erivatives in the usual sense on a ense set, G. Alberti an L. Ambrosio [1] observe that such f amits a multiple-value ifferential everywhere, whose graph transforms into the graph of a Lipschitz function uner the linear change of variable (x, y (x + y,x y of T R n R n R n. From this point of view, Alexanrov s theorem appears as a consequence of Raemacher s theorem on the almost everywhere ifferentiability of Lipschitz functions. On the other han, there exist strongly approximable functions isplaying much wiler behavior. For example, they inclue the Sobolev space W 2,n loc (U of functions with secon istributional erivatives in L n loc (U, since Höler s inequality implies that convolution with an approximate ientity yiels a strong approximation. Meanwhile, Hutchinson an Meier [1] observe that if n 2 then f HM (x 1,...,x n := x 1 sin log log x 1 (3
3 226 J.H.G. Fu / Avances in Mathematics 228 ( belongs to W 2,n (U for sufficiently small neighborhoos U of, while f HM oscillates infinitely often between (±1,,..., + o(x as x along the x 1 axis. This implies first of all that f HM cannot be expresse as a ifference of two convex functions. Furthermore, by cutting off, translating, rotating an multiplying by suitable constants, it is easy to construct a W 2,n (R n - convergent sum whose ifferential has a graph that is ense in T R n. For n = 2 the function g(x,y := f HM (x, y + y is not Monge Ampère, an hence not strongly approximable. For the restriction of g to R 2 {} is Monge Ampère, an along the x 1 axis the fibers of the ifferential current D(g inclue the line segments with enpoints f HM ± (, 1 R 2. In view of the oscillation escribe above it follows that D(g oes not have finite mass above any neighborhoo of the origin. This example is easily extene to higher imensions. It is natural to conjecture that Theorem 1.1 applies to all Monge Ampère functions inee it seems plausible that every Monge Ampère function is strongly approximable. However, this is just one of many perplexing questions about Monge Ampère functions: for example, if n>2we o not even know whether such functions are necessarily continuous, or even locally boune. 2. Basic facts 2.1. Some measure theory Put B(x,r R n for the open ball of raius r about x, an ω n for the volume of B(, 1. Recall that if μ is a Raon measure on U R n then its ensity at x U is Θ(μ,x := lim r μ(b(x, r ω n r n, provie the limit exists. In fact the limit exists for a.e. x U with respect to Lebesgue measure, an efines a Lebesgue-integrable function of x, whose integrals yiel the absolutely continuous part of μ with respect to the Lebesgue ecomposition into absolutely continuous an singular parts (cf. [5, Theorem 3.22]. In particular, if μ is singular with respect to the Lebesgue measure then Θ(μ,x = for a.e. x R n Absolute Hessian eterminant measures Suppose that f 1,f 2,... f is a strong approximation. For =,...,n, an k = 1, 2,..., we efine the measures ν k, on U by ν k, (S := I,J {1,...,n}, I = J = S [ 2 ] et f k x i x j i I,j J. (4 Taking subsequences, we may assume that each sequence ν k,, k = 1, 2,..., converges weakly to a Raon measure ν, =,...,n. We will refer to any Raon measure ν ν as an absolute Hessian eterminant measure of egree for the strong approximation f 1,f 2,... f. When the approximation is unerstoo we will also refer to such ν as an absolute Hessian eterminant measure of egree for f. For quaratic polynomials Q : R n R, put Q to be the maximum of the absolute values of the coefficients. The following lemma is obvious.
4 J.H.G. Fu / Avances in Mathematics 228 ( Lemma 2.1. There are constants C n, with the following property. Let f L 1 loc (U be strongly approximable, an let ν 1,...,ν n be absolute Hessian eterminant measures for f arising from a strong approximation f 1,f 2,... f. Given any quaratic polynomial Q, the sequence f 1 + Q, f 2 + Q,...is then a strong approximation of f + Q, an the measures ν := C n, i+j= Q i ν j (5 are absolute Hessian eterminant measures of egrees = 1, 2,...,nfor this approximation. Remark. Since the number of minors of an n n matrix is ( n 2, an there are i= ( 2 i = ( 2 subminors of each such minor, the rather extravagant value Cn, =! ( n 2 ( 2 works An inequality from multivariable calculus The key fact that makes the main theorem work is the following elementary classical inequality about C 2 functions. Lemma 2.2. Let U R n be open, an F C 2 (U. IfV U is open then et D 2 F ( supv F sup ω V F n n. (6 iam V V Proof. This is a weakene form of Lemma 9.2 of [8]. 3. An extension of a special case of a theorem of Calerón an Zygmun We say that f : R U R amits a kth erivative in the L 1 sense at x if there exists a polynomial Q of egree k such that r n B(x,r f(y Q(y y = o ( r k (7 as r. The next proposition generalizes a result of Calerón an Zygmun [3]. The original result (or rather the very special case of it that we have in min states that a function with istributional secon erivatives in L 1 loc amits a secon erivative in the L1 sense a.e. By a straightforwar aaptation of the argument of [3] we prove that this conclusion is true if the istributional secon erivatives are only locally finite signe measures. Recall that the space BV loc (U of functions of locally boune variation consists of all locally integrable functions whose istributional graients are (vector measures (cf. [9]. Lemma 3.1. If g BV loc (U then g is ifferentiable in the L 1 sense at a.e. x U. Proof. This is an immeiate consequence of Theorem of [4].
5 2262 J.H.G. Fu / Avances in Mathematics 228 ( Proposition 3.2. If the istributional graient of f L 1 (U lies in BV loc (U, then f amits a secon erivative in the L 1 sense a.e. in U. Proof. By Lemma 3.1 it is enough to show that there exists an L 1 quaratic Taylor approximation for f at provie is a Lebesgue point of f an f is ifferentiable in the L 1 sense at. We may assume that f( = f( = D 2 f( =, where D 2 f( is the L 1 erivative of f at. Put G(ρ := B(,ρ f(x x n 1 x, F(ρ := B(,ρ f(x x. Then F, G are both absolutely continuous on [,, with G (ρ = F (ρ ρ n 1, an F(ρ= o(ρ n+1. Integrating by parts, it follows that G(ρ = o(ρ 2 as ρ. On the other han, B(,ρ f C C ρ ρ = Cρ n r n 1 r r n 1 r S n 1 v S n 1 v S n 1 v ρ r ρ Df (sv s = Cρ n G(ρ = o ( ρ n+2, Df (sv s Df (sv s which gives the result. 4. Proof of Theorem 1.1 For the rest of the paper we take as given the hypotheses of Theorem Proof of conclusion (1 The proof is a simplifie version of the proof of the other conclusions. Proposition 4.1. The f k are locally uniformly boune. Proof. Given x U an s>, put Q(x, s := [x 1 s,x 1 + s] [x n s,x n + s] (8

Proceeing by inuction on, the case = n yiels ( Proof of conclusions (2 an (3 The proof of Theorem 1.1 will be complete in the following proposition. Put ν := ν 1 + +ν n for the sum of the absolute Hessian eterminant measures of f, an ν = ν ac + ν s the ecomposition of ν into its absolutely continuous an singular parts. Let φ enote the ensity function of ν ac with respect to Lebesgue measure. We put also f := lim sup f k, k f := lim inf f k. k Proposition 4.2. Suppose x U, an that (1 Θ(ν s,x = ; (2 x is a Lebesgue point of f,of f an of φ; (3 f is twice ifferentiable in the L 1 sense at x. Then f(x = f (x, an both f, f are twice ifferentiable at x. Proof. We may assume that x =, an by Lemma 2.1 we may also assume that f( = f( = D 2 f( =, where D 2 f( is the L 1 secon erivative of f at.
