Abstract: When P is the fractional Laplacian (Delta)a, 0<a<1, or a pseudodifferential generalization thereof, the Dirichlet problem for the associated heat equation over a smooth set OmegasubsetBbbRn: r+Pu(x,t)+partialtu(x,t)=f(x,t) on Omegaimes,]0,T[,, u(x,t)=0 for xotinOmega, u(x,0)=0, is known to be solvable in relatively low-order Sobolev or H"older spaces. We now show that in contrast with differential operator cases, the regularity of u in x at partialOmega when f is very smooth cannot in general be improved beyond a certain estimate. An improvement requires the vanishing of a Neumann boundary value. --- There is a similar result for the Schr"odinger Dirichlet problem r+Pv(x)+Vv(x)=g(x) on Omega, v(x)=0 for xotinOmega, with V(x)inCinfty. The proofs involve a precise description, of interest in itself, of the Dirichlet domains in terms of regular functions and functions with a dist(x,partialOmega)a singularity.
