Abstract: We study the positivity and regularity of solutions to the fractional porous medium equations $u_t+(-Delta{)}^s{u}^m=0$ in $(0,infty)imesOmega$, for $m>1$ and $sin(0,1)$ and with Dirichlet boundary data $u=0$ in $(0,infty)imes({mathbbR}^{N}setminusOmega)$, and nonnegative initial condition $u(0,cdot)=u_{0}geq0$. Our first result is a quantitative lower bound for solutions which holds for all positive times $t>0$. As a consequence, we find a global Harnack principle stating that for any $t>0$ solutions are comparable to $d^{s/m}$, where $d$ is the distance to $partialOmega$. This is in sharp contrast with the local case $s=1$, in which the equation has finite speed of propagation. After this, we study the regularity of solutions. We prove that solutions are classical in the interior ($C^{i}nfty$ in $x$ and $C^{1,alpha}$ in $t$) and establish a sharp $C_x^{s/m}$ regularity estimate up to the boundary. Our methods are quite general, and can be applied to a wider class of nonlocal parabolic equations of the form $u_t-mathcalLF(u)=0$ in $Omega$, both in bounded or unbounded domains.
