Abstract: We develop the regularity theory for solutions to space-time nonlocal equations driven by fractional powers of the heat operator (partial_t-Delta)^su(t,x)=f(t,x),quadhbox{for}~0<s<1. This nonlocal equation of order s in time and 2s in space arises in Nonlinear Elasticity, Semipermeable Membranes, Continuous Time Random Walks and Mathematical Biology. It plays for space-time nonlocal equations like the generalized master equation the same role as the fractional Laplacian for nonlocal in space equations. We obtain a pointwise integro-differential formula for (partialt−Delta)su(t,x) and parabolic maximum principles. A novel extension problem to characterize this nonlocal equation with a local degenerate parabolic equation is proved. We show parabolic interior and boundary Harnack inequalities, and an Almgrem-type monotonicity formula. H"older and Schauder estimates for the space-time Poisson problem are deduced using a new characterization of parabolic H"older spaces. Our methods involve the extit{parabolic language of semigroups} and the Cauchy Integral Theorem, which are original to define the fractional powers of partialt−Delta. Though we mainly focus in the equation (partialt−Delta)su=f, applications of our ideas to variable coefficients, discrete Laplacians and Riemannian manifolds are stressed out.
