We prove sharp regularity results for the boundary of this shadow in every direction of illumination. Moreover, techniques are developed for investigating the regularity of the region generated by orthogonally projecting a convex set onto another. As an application we study the geometry and Hausdorff dimension of the singular set corresponding to a Monge-Ampere equation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2013-11-22T20:11:45.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "singular set", "monge-ampere equation", "sharp regularity results", "convex body", "convex set" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2013arXiv1311.5865I" } } }
