We prove an epiperimetric inequality for the thin obstacle problem, extending the pioneering results by Weiss on the classical obstacle problem (Invent. Math. 138 (1999), no. 1, 23-50). This inequality provides the means to study the rate…

The free boundary for the Signorini problem in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ is smooth outside of a degenerate set, which can have the same dimension ($n-1$) as the free boundary itself. In [FR21] it was shown that generically, the set where the free…
