Abstract

We consider the parabolic Signorini problem (or parabolic thin obstacle problem), which is a classical free boundary problem motivated from modelling fluids passing through semipermeable membranes. I will review some techniques used to tackle the regularity properties of the solutions as well as the free boundaries. This is based on joint work with Vedansh Arya.
