A priori estimates for weak solutions of complex Monge-Ampère equations
Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze, Série 5, Tome 7 (2008) no. 1, pp. 81-96.

Let X be a compact Kähler manifold and ω be a smooth closed form of bidegree (1,1) which is nonnegative and big. We study the classes χ (X,ω) of ω-plurisubharmonic functions of finite weighted Monge-Ampère energy. When the weight χ has fast growth at infinity, the corresponding functions are close to be bounded. We show that if a positive Radon measure is suitably dominated by the Monge-Ampère capacity, then it belongs to the range of the Monge-Ampère operator on some class χ (X,ω). This is done by establishing a priori estimates on the capacity of sublevel sets of the solutions. Our result extends those of U. Cegrell’s and S. Kolodziej’s and puts them into a unifying frame. It also gives a simple proof of S. T. Yau’s celebrated a priori 𝒞 0 -estimate.
