Serena Dipierro, Ovidiu Savin and Enrico Valdinoci Graph properties for nonlocal minimal surfaces (500K, pdf) ABSTRACT. In this paper we show that a nonlocal minimal surface which is a graph outside a cylinder is in fact a graph in the whole of the space. As a consequence, in dimension~$3$, we show that the graph is smooth. The proofs rely on convolution techniques and appropriate integral estimates which show the pointwise validity of an Euler-Lagrange equation related to the nonlocal mean curvature.
