- Abstract
Abstract Let $$x: M \rightarrow A^{n+1}$$ be a locally strongly convex hypersurface, given as the graph of a locally strongly convex function x n+1 = z(x 1, ..., x n ). In this paper we prove a Bernstein property for hypersurfaces which are complete with respect to the metric $$G^{\sharp} = \sum \left( \frac{\partial^{2}z}{\partial x_{i} \partial x_{j}} \right) dx_{i} dx_{j}$$ and which satisfy a certain Monge–Amp�re type equation. This generalises in some sense the earlier result of Li and Jia for affine maximal hypersurfaces of dimension n = 2 and n = 3 (Li, A.-M., Jia, F.: A Bernstein property of affine maximal hypersurfaces. Ann. Glob. Anal. Geom. 23, 359–372 (2003)), related results (Li, A.-M., Jia, F.: Locally strongly convex hypersurfaces with constant affine mean curvature. Diff. Geom. Appl. 22(2), 199–214 (2005)) and results for n = 2 of Trudinger and Wang (Trudinger, N.S., Wang, X.-J.: Bernstein-J�rgens theorem for a fourth order partial differential equation. J. Partial Diff. Equ. 15(2), 78–88 (2002)).
