The Monge-Amp\`{e}re Equation

In this survey article we discuss the interior and boundary regularity of Alexandrov solutions to $\det D^{2}u=1$. We include some topics which it seems were not recently revisited in similar articles, including Calabi’s interior $C^3$ estimate, and the approaches of Cheng-Yau and Lions to obtain classical solutions to the Dirichlet problem. The survey grew from two mini-courses given by the author in May 2018. One was for “Advanced Lectures in Nonlinear Analysis” at l’Universit`{a} degli Studi di Torino, and the other for the Oxford PDE CDT.
