abstract
We consider viscosity solution to one-phase free boundary problems for general fully nonlinear operators and free boundary condition depending on the normal vector. We show existence of viscosity solutions via the Perron's method and we prove $C^{2,\alpha}$ regularity of flat free boundaries via a quadratic improvement of flatness. Finally, we obtain the higher regularity of the free boundary via an hodograph transform.

Smoothness and stability in the Alt-Phillips problem
For the Alt-Phillips free boundary problem, the paper proves smoothness of regular free boundaries for all exponents, derives a stability inequality for negative exponents, and rules out nontrivial axially symmetric stable cones in dimensions d≤6 (and d=7 for γ below about -0.717).
