Finite type Monge–Ampère foliations

Abstract For plurisubharmonic solutions of the complex homogeneous Monge–Ampère equation whose level sets are hypersurfaces of finite type, in dimension 2, it is shown that the Monge–Ampère foliation is defined even at points of higher degeneracy. The result is applied to provide a positive answer to a question of Burns on homogeneous polynomials whose logarithms satisfy the complex Monge–Ampère equation and to generalize the work of P. M. Wong on the classification of complete weighted circular domains.
