We consider the class of measurable functions defined in all of $\mathbb{R}^n$ that give rise to a nonlocal minimal graph over a ball of $\mathbb{R}^n$. We establish that the gradient of any such function is bounded in the interior of the…
We establish higher regularity properties of solutions to fully nonlinear elliptic equations at interior critical points. The key novelty of our estimates lies in the fact that they yield smoothness properties that go beyond the inherent…
We introduce the nonlocal analogue of the classical free boundary minimal hypersurfaces in an open domain $\Omega$ of $\mathbb{R}^n$ as the (boundaries of) critical points of the fractional perimeter $\operatorname{Per}_s(\cdot,\,\Omega )$…
We give a new proof and a partial generalization of Jean Taylor's result [Ta] that says that Almgren almost-minimal sets of dimension 2 in $\R^3$ are locally $C^{1+\alpha}$-equivalent to minimal cones. The proof is rather elementary, but…
We prove $C^{2,\alpha}$ regularity of sufficiently flat free boundaries, for the thin one-phase problem in which the free boundary occurs on a lower dimensional subspace. This problem appears also as a model of a one-phase free boundary…
In this paper we show that a nonlocal minimal surface which is a graph outside a cylinder is in fact a graph in the whole of the space. As a consequence, in dimension~$3$, we show that the graph is smooth. The proofs rely on convolution…
We prove the existence and $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity of solutions to nonlocal fully nonlinear elliptic equations with gradient constraints. We do not assume any regularity about the constraints; so the constraints need not be $C^1$ or…
We consider nonhomogeneous fractional $p$-Laplace equations defined on a bounded nonsmooth domain which goes beyond the Lipschitz category. Under a sufficient flatness assumption on the domain in the sense of Reifenberg, we establish…
We show that nonlocal minimal cones which are non-singular subgraphs outside the origin are necessarily halfspaces. The proof is based on classical ideas of~\cite{DG1} and on the computation of the linearized nonlocal mean curvature…
In this paper, we will give a $C^{1,\beta}$-regularity result on the boundary for two dimensional sliding almost minimal sets in $\mathbb{R}^3$. This effect may lead to the existence of a solution to the Plateau problem with sliding…
We study nonlocal minimal surfaces as a new approximation theory for the area functional, and more specifically in the context of Yau's conjecture on the existence of minimal surfaces in closed three-dimensional manifolds. This programme…
In this work we consider a question in the calculus of variations motivated by riemannian geometry, the isoperimetric problem. We show that solutions to the isoperimetric problem, close in the flat norm to a smooth submanifold, are…
Variational inequalities with thin obstacles and Signorini-type boundary conditions are classical problems in the calculus of variations, arising in numerous applications. In the linear case many refined results are known, while in the…
We establish the regularity theory for certain critical elliptic systems with an anti-symmetric structure under inhomogeneous Neumann and Dirichlet boundary constraints. As applications, we prove full regularity and smooth estimates at the…
Minimal surfaces in the sub-Riemannian Heisenberg group can be constructed by means of a Riemannian approximation scheme, as limit of Riemannian minimal surfaces. We study the regularity of Lipschitz, non-characteristic minimal surfaces…
In this work we establish local $C^{2,\alpha}$ regularity estimates for flat solutions to non-convex fully nonlinear elliptic equations provided the coefficients and the source function are of class $C^{0,\alpha}$. For problems with merely…
In 1960s, Almgren initiated a program to find minimal hypersurfaces in compact manifolds using min-max method. This program was largely advanced by Pitts and Schoen-Simon in 1980s when the manifold has no boundary. In this paper, we finish…
We study the higher regularity in nonlocal free boundary problems posed for general integro-differential operators of order $2s$. Our main result is for the nonlocal one-phase (Bernoulli) problem, for which we establish that $C^{2,\alpha}$…
In this paper, we establish a $C^{1,\alpha}$-regularity theorem for almost-minimizers of the functional $\mathcal{F}_{\varepsilon,\gamma}=P-\gamma P_{\varepsilon}$, where $\gamma\in(0,1)$ and $P_{\varepsilon}$ is a nonlocal energy…
We obtain boundary nondegeneracy and regularity estimates for solutions to non-divergence equations in $C^1$ domains, providing an explicit modulus of continuity. Our results extend the classical Hopf-Oleinik lemma and boundary Lipschitz…
