Abstract: In this paper we derive a strong maximum principle for weak supersolutions of nonlocal equations of the form $Iu=c(x)u$ in $Omega$, where $Omegasubsetmathbb{R}^N$ is a domain, $cin{L}^{infty}(Omega)$ and $I$ is an operator of the form $Iu(x)=P.V.in{t}_{mathbb{R}^N}(u(x)-u(y))j(x-y)dy$ with a nonnegative kernel function $j$. We formulate minimal positivity assumptions on $j$ corresponding to a class of operators which includes highly anisotropic variants of the fractional Laplacian. Somewhat surprisingly, this problem leads to the study of general lattices in $mathbb{R}^N$. Our results extend to the regional variant of the operator $I$ and, under weak additional assumptions, also to the case of $x$-dependent kernel functions.
