Abstract

We prove Liouville rigidity theorems for translation-invariant real and complex Hessian equations in the viscosity sense, where the PDE is encoded by an admissible set𝓐 . The main structural notion is Liouville admissibility, a recursive geometric condition requiring each quotient set to be either boundary compatible or to fall into a terminal class. Our main theorem states that every bounded, globallyC^(0,α)entire viscosity solution of \[ Hess_(F)uın \] is constant if and only if𝓐is Liouville admissible; thus the Liouville-type property is characterized as a geometric property of the admissible set. A central class of examples arises from polarizations of univariate Gårding polynomials satisfying the monotone root sequence condition, producing mixed elementary-symmetric admissible sets and recovering the standardk -Hessian equations as monomial cases. The framework also allows anisotropic constructions, including linear pullbacks and intersections of admissible sets.
