A submanifold in space forms is isoparametric if the normal bundle is flat and principal curvatures along any parallel normal fields are constant. We study the mean curvature flow with initial data an isoparametric submanifold in Euclidean…

We prove that smooth convex $\alpha$-noncollapsed ancient mean curvature flow satisfies a quantitative curvature estimate $H(y,t)\leq CH(x,t)(H(x,t)|x-y|+1)^2$ for any pair of $x,y$. In other words, the rescaled curvature grows at most…

Consider an integral Brakke flow $(\mu_t)$, $t\in [0,T]$, inside some ball in Euclidean space. If $\mu_{0}$ has small height, its measure does not deviate too much from that of a plane and if $\mu_{T}$ is non-empty, then Brakke's local…
