The singular set in the fully nonlinear obstacle problem

For the Obstacle Problem involving a convex fully nonlinear elliptic operator, we show that the singular set of the free boundary stratifies. The top stratum is locally covered by a C1,α-manifold, and the lower strata are covered by C1,log\eps-manifolds. This essentially recovers the regularity result obtained by Figalli-Serra when the operator is the Laplacian.
