Title: Regularity results for a class of permeability problems

Abstract: In this talk we will give an overview of some of the main themes in the study of a class of free boundary problems, called of obstacle type. In particular, we will focus on regularity results (both for the solution and for the free boundary) in a model which arises in permeability theory, and discuss the modern approach to this classical problem, based on families of monotonicity formulas.
