Motivated by the huge success of the applications of the abstract fractional equations in many areas of science and engineering, and by the unsolved question in this theory, in this work we study several matters related to abstract fractional Cauchy problems of order \'alpha\' \'it belongs\' (0, 1). We search to answer some questions that were open: for instance, we analyze the existence of local mild solutions for the problem, and its possible continuation to a maximal interval of existence. The case of critical nonlinearities and corresponding regular mild solutions is also studied. Finally, by establishing some general comparison results, we apply them to conclude the global well-posedness of a fractional partial differential equation coming from heat conduction theory
