This paper explores and ties together three themes. The first is to establish regularity of a metric tensor, on a manifold with boundary, on which there are given Ricci curvature bounds, on the manifold and its boundary, and a Lipschitz…

We study convex solutions to the Monge-Amp\`ere obstacle problem \[ \operatorname{det} D^2 v=g v^q\chi_{\{v>0\}}, \quad v \geq 0, \] where $q \in [0,n)$ is a constant and $g$ is a bounded positive function. This problem emerges from the…

We study the obstacle problem for integro-differential operators of order $2s$, with $s\in (0,1)$. Our main result establishes that the free boundary is $C^{1,\gamma}$ and $u\in C^{1,s}$ near all regular points. Namely, we prove the…

We study boundary regularity for conformally compact Einstein metrics in even dimensions by generalizing the ideas of Michael Anderson. Our method of approach is to view the vanishing of the Ambient Obstruction tensor as an nth order system…

In this work, we show how to obtain a free boundary problem as the limit of a fully non linear elliptic system of equations that models population segregation (Gause-Lotka-Volterra type). We study the regularity of the solutions. In…
