Abstract

In this paper, we first investigate the integral curvature condition to extend the mean curvature flow of submanifolds in a Riemannian manifold with codimension d1d\geq1, which generalizes the extension theorem for the mean curvature flow of hypersurfaces due to Le-\v{S}e\v{s}um \cite{LS} and the authors \cite{XYZ1,XYZ2}. Using the extension theorem, we prove two convergence theorems for the mean curvature flow of closed submanifolds in Rn+d{R}^{n+d} under suitable integral curvature conditions.
