We provide monotonicity formulas for solutions to the p -Laplace equation defined in the exterior of a convex domain. A number of analytic and geometric consequences are derived, including the classical Minkowski inequality as well as new characterizations of rotationally symmetric solutions and domains. The proofs rely on the conformal splitting technique introduced by the second author in collaboration with V. Agostiniani. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

We establish the C 1 + γ -Hölder regularity of the regular free boundary in the stationary obstacle problem defined by the fractional Laplace operator with drift in the subcritical regime. Our method of the proof consists in proving a new monotonicity formula and an epiperimetric inequality. Both tools generalizes the original ideas of G. Weiss in [15] for the classical obstacle problem to the framework of fractional powers of the Laplace operator with drift. Our study continues the earlier research [12] , where two of us established the optimal interior regularity of solutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
