We provide fundamental properties of the first eigenpair for fractional p-Laplacian eigenvalue problems under singular weights, which is related to Hardy type inequality, and also show that the second eigenvalue is well-defined. We obtain a-priori bounds and the continuity of solutions to problems with such singular weights with some additional assumptions. Moreover, applying the above results, we show a global bifurcation emenating from the first eigenvalue, the Fredholm alternative for non-resonant problems, and obtain the existence of infinitely many solutions for some nonlinear problems involving singular weights. These are new results, even for (fractional) Laplacian.2000 Mathematics Subject Classification. 35P15, 35P30, 35R11.
