Abstract

We compare various notions of weak subsolutions to degenerate complex Monge–Ampère flows, showing that they all coincide. This allows us to show that the viscosity solution coincides with the envelope of pluripotential subsolutions.

Keywords

parabolic Monge–Ampère equation, pluripotential solution, viscosity solution, Perron envelope
