Abstract: We consider fully nonlinear obstacle-type problems of the form �egin{equation*} �egin{cases} F(D^{2}u,x)=f(x) & ext{a.e. in}B_{1}capOmega,|D^{2}u|le K & ext{a.e. in}B_{1}�ackslashOmega, end{cases} end{equation*} where $Omega$ is an unknown open set and $K>0$. In particular, structural conditions on $F$ are presented which ensure that $W^{2,n}(B_1)$ solutions achieve the optimal $C^{1,1}(B_{1/2})$ regularity when $f$ is H"older continuous. Moreover, if $f$ is positive on $overline{B}_1$, Lipschitz continuous, and $ueq0subsetOmega$, then we obtain local $C^1$ regularity of the free boundary under a uniform thickness assumption on $u=0$. Lastly, we extend these results to the parabolic setting.
