A by now classical result due to DiBenedetto states that the spatial gradient of solutions to the parabolic $p$-Laplacian system is locally H\"older continuous in the interior. However, the boundary regularity is not yet well understood. In…

We establish generic regularity results of free boundaries for solutions of the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^s$. We prove that, for almost every obstacle, the free boundary contains only regular points up to…

The squared Laplace operator acting on symmetric rank-two tensor fields is studied on a (flat) Riemannian manifold with smooth boundary. Symmetry of this fourth-order elliptic operator is obtained provided that such tensor fields and their…

In this manuscript, we study geometric regularity estimates for degenerate parabolic equations of $p$-Laplacian type ($2 \leq p< \infty$) under a strong absorption condition: $ \Delta_p u - \frac{\partial u}{\partial t} = \lambda_0 u_{+}^q…

We establish sharp regularity for the value function, the pressure, and the free boundary in one-dimensional first-order mean field games with power coupling and compactly supported density. Under a standard nondegeneracy assumption on the…

We consider weighted p-Laplace type equations with homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in convex domains, where the weight is a log-concave function which may degenerate at the boundary. In the case of bounded domains, we provide sharp…

We investigate the regularity of the free boundary for the Signorini problem in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$. It is known that regular points are $(n-1)$-dimensional and $C^\infty$. However, even for $C^\infty$ obstacles $\varphi$, the set of…

We study the obstacle problem for parabolic operators of the type $\partial_t + L$, where $L$ is an elliptic integro-differential operator of order $2s$, such as $(-\Delta)^s$, in the supercritical regime $s \in (0,{1/2})$. The best result…

Motivated by problems arising in geometric flows, we prove several regularity results for systems of local and nonlocal equations, adapting to the parabolic case a neat argument due to Caffarelli. The geometric motivation of this work comes…

We consider fully nonlinear obstacle-type problems of the form \begin{equation*} \begin{cases} F(D^{2}u,x)=f(x) & \text{a.e. in}B_{1}\cap\Omega,|D^{2}u|\le K & \text{a.e. in}B_{1}\backslash\Omega, \end{cases} \end{equation*} where $\Omega$…

We study the parabolic obstacle problem $$\lap u-u_t=f\chi_{\{u>0\}}, \quad u\geq 0,\quad f\in L^p \quad \mbox{with}\quad f(0)=1$$ and obtain two monotonicity formulae, one that applies for general free boundary points and one for singular…

The parabolic obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian naturally arises in American option models when the assets prices are driven by pure jump L\'evy processes. In this paper we study the regularity of the free boundary. Our main…

Solutions to $p$-Laplace equations are not, in general, of class $C^2$. The study of Sobolev regularity of the second derivatives is, therefore, a crucial issue. An important contribution by Cianchi and Maz'ya shows that, if the source term…

We consider the equation $-\Delta_p u=f(u)$ in a smooth bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^n $, where $\Delta_p$ is the $p$-Laplace operator. Explicit examples of unbounded stable energy solutions are known if $n\geq p+4p/(p-1)$. Instead, when…
