摘要
In this note we construct new examples of quasiconvex functions defined on the set S-nxn of symmetric matrices. They are built on the k-th elementary symmetric function of the eigenvalues, k = 1,2,...,n. Our motivation came from a paper by Sverak [S]. The proof of our result relies on the theory of the so-called k-Hessian equations, which have been intensively studied recently; see [CNS,T1,TW1,TW2].
