On a compact connected2m-dimensional Kähler manifold with Kähler formω, given a smooth functionf:M→ℝand an integer1<k<m, we want to solve uniquely in[ω]the equationω̃k∧ωm-k=efωm, relying on the notion ofk-positivity forω̃∈[ω](the extreme cases are solved:k=mby (Yau in 1978), andk=1trivially). We solve by the continuity method the corresponding complex elliptickth Hessian equation, more difficult to solve than the Calabi-Yau equation (k=m), under the assumption that the holomorphic bisectional curvature of the manifold is nonnegative, required here only to derive an a priori eigenvalues pinching.
