We establish sharp regularity estimates for solutions to $Lu=f$ in $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^n$, being $L$ the generator of any stable and symmetric L\'evy process. Such nonlocal operators $L$ depend on a finite measure on $S^{n-1}$, called…

In this manuscript, we investigate regularity estimates for a class of quasilinear elliptic equations in the non-divergence form that may exhibit degenerate behavior at critical points of their gradient. The prototype equation under…
We consider the maximal regularity of a specific Vlasov-Fokker-Planck equation $\mathcal{A}u=f$ in the Euclidean space. The operator $\mathcal{A}=\Delta_{y}u-y\cdot \nabla_x{u}$ is an example of the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck operators. We prove…

A fundamental theorem of Liouville asserts that positive entire harmonic functions in Euclidean spaces must be constant. A remarkable Liouville-type theorem of Caffarelli-Gidas-Spruck states that positive entire solutions of $-\Delta u=u^{…
We study stable solutions to the equation $(-\Delta)^{1/2} u = f(u)$, posed in a bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^n$. For nonnegative convex nonlinearities, we prove that stable solutions are smooth in dimensions $n\leq 4$. This result, which…
