On a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations on Hermitian manifolds

We derive a priori $C^2$ estimates for a class of complex Monge-Ampere type equations on Hermitian manifolds. As an application we solve the Dirichlet problem for these equations under the assumption of existence of a subsolution; the existence result, as well as the second order boundary estimates, is new even for bounded domains in ${\text{bfC}}^n$.
