contents The paper continues the analysis started in [Cora-Fioravanti-Vita-25,Fioravanti-24] on the local regularity theory for elliptic equations having coefficients which are degenerate or singular on some lower dimensional manifold. The model operator is given by $L_au(z)=\mathrm{div}(|y|^a\nabla u)(z)$, where $z=(x,y)\in\mathbb R^{d-n}\times\mathbb R^n$, $2\leq n\leq d$ are two integers and $a\in\mathbb R$. The weight term is degenerate/singular on the (possibly very) thin characteristic manifold $Σ_0=\{|y|=0\}$ of dimension $0\leq d-n\leq d-2$. Whenever $a+n>0$, we prove smoothness of the axially symmetric $L_a$-harmonic functions. In the mid-range $a+n\in(0,2)$, we deal with regularity estimates for solutions with inhomogeneous conormal boundary conditions prescribed at $Σ_0$, and we establish the connection with fractional Laplacians on very thin flat manifolds via Dirichlet-to-Neumann maps, as a higher codimensional analogue of the extension theory developed by Caffarelli and Silvestre. Finally, whenever $a+n<2$ we complement the study in [Fioravanti-24], providing some regularity estimates for solutions having a homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition prescribed at $Σ_0$ by a boundary Harnack type principle.
