We study the strong unique continuation property backwards in time for the nonlocal equation in R n+ 1 (0.1)(∂ t− Δ) s u= V (x, t) u, s∈(0, 1). Our main result Theorem 1.2 can be thought of as the nonlocal counterpart of the result obtained in [30] for the case when s= 1. In order to prove Theorem 1.2 we develop the regularity theory of the extension problem for the equation (0.1). With such theory in hands we establish:(i) a basic monotonicity result for an adjusted frequency function which plays a central role in this paper, see Theorem 1.3 below;(ii) an extensive blowup analysis of the so-called Almgren rescalings associated with the extension problem. We feel that our work will also be of interest eg in the study of certain basic open questions in free boundary problems, as well as in nonlocal segregation problems.
