Eigenvalue and bifurcation results will be discussed
for the Monge-Ampere operator.  It will be shown that under
suitable hypotheses global bifurcation occurs, bifurcating
from a principal eigenvalue.  In addition, we will
discuss appropriate generalizations of these results to
more general Hessian operators.
