Abstract: In this work we study some regularity properties associated to the initial value problem (IVP) �egin{equation}label{main1} left{ �egin{array}{ll} partial_{t}u-partial_{x_{1}}(-Delta)^{alpha/2} u+upartial_{x_{1}}u=0, quad 0< alphaleq 2,& \ u(x,0)=u_{0}(x),quad x=(x_{1},x_{2},dots,x_{n})in mathbb{R}^{n},, ngeq 2,quad tinmathbb{R},& \ end{array} ight. end{equation} where (Delta)alpha/2 denotes the ndimensional fractional Laplacian. We show that solutions to the IVP (0.1) with initial data in a suitable Sobolev space exhibit a local smoothing effect in the spatial variable of fracalpha2 derivatives, almost everywhere in time. One of the main difficulties that emerge when trying to obtain this regularizing effect underlies that the operator in consideration is non-local, and the property we are trying to describe is local, so new ideas are required. Nevertheless, to avoid these problems, we use a perturbation argument replacing (Delta)fracalpha2 by (IDelta)fracalpha2, that through the use of pseudo-differential calculus allows us to show that solutions become locally smoother by fracalpha2 of a derivative in all spatial directions. As a by-product, we use this particular smoothing effect to show that the extra regularity of the initial data on some distinguished subsets of the Euclidean space is propagated by the flow solution with infinity speed.
