Abstract: We study the singular part of the free boundary in the obstacle problem for the fractional Laplacian, $$ in $mathbb{R}^n$, for general obstacles $varphi$. Our main result establishes the complete structure and regularity of the singular set. To prove it, we construct new monotonicity formulas of Monneau-type that extend those in cite{GP} to all $sin(0,1)$.
