A free boundary Monge-Ampere equation with applications to Calabi-Yau metrics.

I will discuss a free boundary Monge-Ampere equation that arises from an attempt to construct complete Calabi-Yau metrics. I will explain how this equation can be solved and its connections with optimal transport. This is joint work with F. Tong and S.-T. Yau.
