Abstract: In this paper, we study the positive solutions to the following singular and non local elliptic problem posed in a bounded and smooth domain $Omegasubset{R}^N$, $N>2s$: % �egin{eqnarray*} (P_lambda)left{�egin{array}{lll} &(-Delta)^s u=lambda(K(x)u^{-delta}+f(u))mbox{ in }Omega &u>0 mbox{ in }Omega & uequiv, 0mbox{ in }R^N�ackslashOmega. end{array} ight. end{eqnarray*} % Here $0<s<1$, $delta>0$, $lambda>0$ and $f,:,R^{+}o{R}^{+}$ is a positive $C^2$ function. $K,:,Omegao{R}^{+}$ is a H"older continuous function in $Omega$ which behave as $$ near the boundary with $$. First, for any $delta>0$ and for $lambda>$ small enough, we prove the existence of solutions to $(P_{l}ambda)$. Next, for a suitable range of values of $delta$, we show the existence of an unbounded connected branch of solutions to $(P_{l}ambda)$ emanating from the trivial solution at $lambda=0$. For a certain class of nonlinearities $f$, we derive a global multiplicity result that extends results proved in cite{peral-al}. To establish the results, we prove new properties which are of independent interest and deal with the behavior and H"older regularity of solutions to $(P_{l}ambda)$.
