Fractional fully nonlinear degenerate elliptic operators: surprising phenomena and Liouville results

I will present a joint work with Galise and Topp, where we introduce some nonlinear extremal nonlocal operators that approximate the, so called, truncated Laplacians. For these operators we construct representation formulas that lead to the construction of what, with an abuse of notation, could be called “fundamental solutions”. This, in turn, leads to Liouville type results. The interest is double: on one hand we wish to “understand” what is the right way to define the nonlocal version of the truncated Laplacians, on the other, we introduce nonlocal operators whose nonlocality is on one dimensional lines, and this dramatically changes the prospective, as is quite clear from the results obtained that often differs significantly with the local case or with the case where the nonlocality is diffused.
