Abstract

We study the singular part of the free boundary in the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian, in , for general obstacles . Our main result establishes the complete structure and regularity of the singular set. To prove it, we construct new monotonicity formulas of Monneau-type that extend those in those of Garofalo–Petrosyan to all .
