Abstract
A quaternionic version of the Calabi problem on the Monge–Ampere equation is introduced, namely a quaternionic Monge–Ampere equation on a compact hypercomplex manifold with an HKT-metric. The equation is non-linear elliptic of second order. For a hypercomplex manifold with holonomy in SL(n,H), uniqueness (up to a constant) of a solution is proven, as well as the zero order a priori estimate. The existence of a solution is conjectured, similar to the Calabi–Yau theorem. We reformulate this quaternionic equation as a special case of the complex Hessian equation, making sense on any complex manifold.
