Subsequent Singularities in Mean-Convex Mean Curvature Flow

Differential Geometry 2016-02-22 v3

Abstract

We use Ilmanen's elliptic regularization to prove that for an initially smooth mean convex hypersurface in Euclidean n-space moving by mean curvature flow, the surface is very nearly convex in a spacetime neighborhood of every singularity. Previously this was known only (i) for n < 7, and (ii) for arbitrary n up to the first singular time.
