We obtain regularity results in weighted Sobolev spaces for the solution of the obstacle problem for the integral fractional Laplacian. The weight is a power of the distance to the boundary. These bounds then serve us as a guide in the…

The key point to prove the optimal $C^{1,\frac12}$ regularity of the thin obstacle problem is that the frequency at a point of the free boundary $x_0\in\Gamma(u)$, say $N^{x_0}(0^+,u)$, satisfies the lower bound $N^{x_0}(0^+,u)\ge\frac32$.…
