Let \((X,\omega )\) be a compact Kähler manifold of dimension n and fix an integer m such that \(1\le m\le n\) . In this note we give a characterization of finite energy range of m-Hessian operator, which generalizes Darvas-DiNezza-Lu’s characterization theorem on Monge-Ampère operator and also gives a different proof of their theorem. This can be viewed as a solution to a generalized problem of Guedj-Zeriahi on the range of Hessian operator.
