The authors prove local higher integrability of the spatial gradient for solutions to obstacle problems of porous medium type in the fast diffusion case \(\frac{(n-2)}{(n+2)}\) \(< m < 1\). The result holds for the natural range of exponents that is known from other regularity results for porous medium type equations. The case of signed solutions is also covered. On a technical level, the problem is to construct a system of intrinsic cylinders that compensates the possible degeneracy in \(|u|\) and at the same time, takes into account the size of the spatial gradient. This major problem was solved by \textit{U. Gianazza} and \textit{S. Schwarzacher} [J. Funct. Anal. 277, No. 12, Article ID 108291, 57 p. (2019; Zbl 1423.35218)] who established the self-improving property of higher integrability for the spatial gradient of non-negative solutions to the porous medium equation in the slow diffusion range \(m > 1\). In the fast diffusion case \(m < 1\), the different behaviour of the singular porous medium equation requires non-trivial adaptations of the previous techniques. For the degenerate porous medium equation, the higher integrability was extended to obstacle problems by \textit{Y. Cho} and \textit{C. Scheven} [NoDEA, Nonlinear Differ. Equ. Appl. 26, No. 5, Paper No. 37, 44 p. (2019; Zbl 1423.35227)]. The present work is devoted to the question whether the result of the previous work also applies in the singular case of the fast diffusion equation.
