Very weak solutions of quadratic Hessian equations

Abstract

We extend the methods of Lewicka - Pakzad, Sz\'ekelyhidi - Cao and Li - Qiu to study the notion of very weak solutions to the complex $\sigma_2$ equation in domains in $\mathbb C^n,\ n\geq 2$. As a by-product we sharpen the regularity threshold of the counterexamples obtained by Li and Qiu in the real case.
