We prove a formula for the second order subdifferential of the sum of two lower semi continuous functions in finite dimensions. This formula yields an Alexandrov type theorem for continuous functions. We derive from this uniqueness results of viscosity solutions of second order Hamilton-Jacobi equations and singlevaluedness of the associated Hamilton-Jacobi operators. We also provide conterexamples in infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces.
