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 non-regular (or degenerate) points could be very large, e.g. with infinite $mathcal{H}^{n-1}$ measure. The only two assumptions under which a nice structure result for degenerate points has been established are: when $varphi$ is analytic, and when $Deltavarphi < 0$. However, even in these cases, the set of degenerate points is in general $(n-1)$-dimensional (as large as the set of regular points). In this work, we show for the first time that, usually, the set of degenerate points is small. Namely, we prove that, given any $C^infty$ obstacle, for almost every solution the non-regular part of the free boundary is at most $(n-2)$-dimensional. This is the first result in this direction for the Signorini problem. Furthermore, we prove analogous results for the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian $(-Delta)^s$, and for the parabolic Signorini problem. In the parabolic Signorini problem, our main result establishes that the non-regular part of the free boundary is $(n-1-alpha_circ)$-dimensional for almost all times $t$, for some $alpha_circ > 0$. Finally, we construct some new examples of free boundaries with degenerate points.

In this note we discuss the (higher) regularity properties of the Signorini problem for the homogeneous, isotropic Lame system. Relying on an observation by Schumann cite{Schumann1}, we reduce the question of the solutions and the free boundary regul arity for the homogeneous, isotropic Lame system to the corresponding regularity properties of the obstacle problem for the half-Laplacian.
The parabolic obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian naturally arises in American option models when the assets prices are driven by pure jump Levy processes. In this paper we study the regularity of the free boundary. Our main result establis hes that, when $s>frac12$, the free boundary is a $C^{1,alpha}$ graph in $x$ and $t$ near any regular free boundary point $(x_0,t_0)in partial{u>varphi}$. Furthermore, we also prove that solutions $u$ are $C^{1+s}$ in $x$ and $t$ near such points, with a precise expansion of the form [u(x,t)-varphi(x)=c_0bigl((x-x_0)cdot e+a(t-t_0)bigr)_+^{1+s}+obigl(|x-x_0|^{1+s+alpha}+ |t-t_0|^{1+s+alpha}bigr),] with $c_0>0$, $ein mathbb{S}^{n-1}$, and $a>0$.
We consider 3D free-boundary compressible ideal magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) system under the Rayleigh-Taylor sign condition. It describes the motion of a free-surface perfect conducting fluid in an electro-magnetic field. The local well-posedness was r ecently proved by Trakhinin and Wang [66] by using Nash-Moser iteration. In this paper, we prove the a priori estimates without loss of regularity for the free-boundary compressible MHD system in Lagrangian coordinates in anisotropic Sobolev space, with more regularity tangential to the boundary than in the normal direction. It is based on modified Alinhac good unknowns, which take into account the covariance under the change of coordinates to avoid the derivative loss; full utilization of the cancellation structures of MHD system, to turn normal derivatives into tangential ones; and delicate analysis in anisotropic Sobolev spaces. Our method is also completely applicable to compressible Euler equations and thus yields an alternative estimate for compressible Euler equations without the analysis of div-curl decomposition or the wave equation in Lindblad-Luo [42], that do not work for compressible MHD. To the best of our knowledge, we establish the first result on the energy estimates without loss of regularity for the free-boundary problem of compressible ideal MHD.
We prove a higher regularity result for the free boundary in the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian via a higher order boundary Harnack inequality.
We study the regularity up to the boundary of solutions to the Neumann problem for the fractional Laplacian. We prove that if $u$ is a weak solution of $(-Delta)^s u=f$ in $Omega$, $mathcal N_s u=0$ in $Omega^c$, then $u$ is $C^alpha$ up tp the bound ary for some $alpha>0$. Moreover, in case $s>frac12$, we then show that $uin C^{2s-1+alpha}(overlineOmega)$. To prove these results we need, among other things, a delicate Moser iteration on the boundary with some logarithmic corrections. Our methods allow us to treat as well the Neumann problem for the regional fractional Laplacian, and we establish the same boundary regularity result. Prior to our results, the interior regularity for these Neumann problems was well understood, but near the boundary even the continuity of solutions was open.
