We establish existence, uniqueness as well as quantitative estimates for\nsolutions to the fractional nonlinear diffusion equation, \∂t u\n+ mathcal Ls,p (u)=0, where mathcal Ls,p=(-\Δ)ps is the\nstandard fractional p-Laplacian operator. We work in the range of exponents\n0<s<1 and 1<p<2, and in some sections sp<1. The equation is posed in the\nwhole space x\∈ mathbb RN. We first obtain weighted global integral\nestimates that allow establishing the existence of solutions for a class of\nlarge data that is proved to be roughly optimal. We study the class of\nself-similar solutions of forward type, that we describe in detail when they\nexist. We also explain what happens when possible self-similar solutions do not\nexist. We establish the dichotomy positivity versus extinction for nonnegative\nsolutions at any given time. We analyze the conditions for extinction in finite\ntime.\n
