The Monge-Ampere system: convex integration with improved regularity in dimension two and arbitrary codimension

Abstract

We prove a convex integration result for the Monge-Ampere system in dimension $d=2$ and arbitrary codimension $k\geq 1$. We achieve flexibility up to the Holder regularity $\mathcal{C}^{1,\frac{1}{1+ 4/k}}$, improving hence the previous $\mathcal{C}^{1,\frac{1}{1+ 6/k}}$ regularity that followed from flexibility up to $\mathcal{C}^{1,\frac{1}{1+d(d+1)/k}}$ in our previous work, valid for any $d,k\geq 1$. The present result agrees with flexibility up to $\mathcal{C}^{1,\frac{1}{5}}$ for $d=2, k=1$ obtained by Conti, Delellis, Szekelyhidi, as well as with the $\mathcal{C}^{1,\alpha}$ result where $\alpha\to 1$ as $k\to\infty$, due to Kallen.
