Regularity in a one-phase free boundary problem for the fractional Laplacian
Annales de l'I.H.P. Analyse non linéaire, Volume 29 (2012) no. 3, pp. 335-367.

For a one-phase free boundary problem involving a fractional Laplacian, we prove that “flat free boundaries” are C 1,α . We recover the regularity results of Caffarelli for viscosity solutions of the classical Bernoulli-type free boundary problem with the standard Laplacian.
