Currents and Flat Chains Associated to Varifolds, with an Application to Mean Curvature Flow

Differential Geometry 2019-12-19 v2

Abstract

We prove under suitable hypotheses that convergence of integral varifolds implies convergence of associated mod 2 flat chains and subsequential convergence of associated integer-multiplicity rectifiable currents. The convergence results imply restrictions on the kinds of singularities that can occur in mean curvature flow.
