Abstract
The Signorini problem for the Laplace operator is considered in a general polygonal domain. It is proved that the coincidence set consists of a finite number of boundary parts plus isolated points. The regularity of the solution is described. In particular, we show that the leading singularity is in general at transition points of Signorini to Dirichlet or Neumann conditions but at kinks of the Signorini boundary, with being the internal angle of the domain at these critical points.
