Abstract

We establish the optimal interior regularity of solutions to a no-sign obstacle-type equation in a stratified group, using the sub-Laplacian. We assume the weakest regularity condition on the nonhomogeneous term of the equation. The regularity is meant in the sense of Folland and Stein. In the classical Euclidean setting, the first seeds of the above problem are already present in the 1991 paper of Sakai and are also related to quadrature domains. As a special instance of our results, when the solution is nonnegative and satisfies the above equation we recover the sharp regularity of solutions to the obstacle problem in stratified groups, that was previously established by Danielli, Garofalo and Salsa. Our regularity result is sharp: it can be seen as the subelliptic counterpart of the sharp regularity result due to Andersson, Lindgren and Shahgholian.
