Entire solutions to a class of fully nonlinear elliptic equations
Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze, Serie 5, Volume 7 (2008) no. 3, pp. 369-405.

We study nonlinear elliptic equations of the form F(D 2 u)=f(u) where the main assumption on F and f is that there exists a one dimensional solution which solves the equation in all the directions ξ n . We show that entire monotone solutions u are one dimensional if their 0 level set is assumed to be Lipschitz, flat or bounded from one side by a hyperplane.
