Definition.

A Riemannian manifold (Y,g)(Y,g) is called Monge-Ampère if it possesses an integral affine structure and the metric is, locally in affine coordinates, given by a potential Ψ\Psi, that is, gi​j=∂2Ψ∂yi​∂yjg_{ij}=\frac{\partial^{2}\Psi}{\partial y_{i}\partial y_{j}}, that satisfies the real Monge-Ampère equation detgi​j=1\det g_{ij}=1.
