Second order estimates for transition layers and a curvature estimate for the parabolic Allen-Cahn
Abstract
The parabolic Allen-Cahn equation is a semilinear partial differential equation linked to the mean curvature flow by a singular perturbation. We show an improved convergence property of the parabolic Allen-Cahn equation to the mean curvature flow, which is the parabolic analogue of the improved convergence property of the elliptic Allen-Cahn to minimal surfaces by Wang-Wei and Chodosh-Mantoulidis. More precisely, we show if the phase-transition level sets are converging in , then they converge in . As an application, we obtain a curvature estimate for parabolic Allen-Cahn equation, which can be viewed as a diffused version of Brakke's and White's regularity theorem for mean curvature flow
