Abstract: We study minimizers of the functional ${\displaystyle }$ int_{B_1^+}| abla u|^2 x_n^a,d x +2int_{B_1'} (lambda_+ u^++lambda_- u^-),d x', ${\displaystyle }$ for $ain(-1,1)$. The problem arises in connection with heat flow with control on the boundary. It can also be seen as a non-local analogue of the, by now well studied, two-phase obstacle problem. Moreover, when $u$ does not change signs this is equivalent to the fractional obstacle problem. Our main results are the optimal regularity of the minimizer and the separation of the two free boundaries $Gamm{a}^{+}=partia{l}^{\prime }u(cdot,0)>0$ and $Gamm{a}^{-}=partia{l}^{\prime }u(cdot,0)<0$ when $ageq0$.
