Quantitative results for fractional overdetermined problems in exterior and annular sets

Abstract

We consider overdetermined problems related to the fractional capacity. In particular we study s-harmonic functions defined in unbounded exterior sets or in bounded annular sets, and having a level set parallel to the boundary. We first classify the solutions of the overdetermined problems, by proving that the domain and the solution itself are radially symmetric. Then we prove a quantitative stability counterpart of the symmetry results: we assume that the overdetermined condition is slightly perturbed and we measure, in a quantitative way, how much the domain is close to a symmetric set.
