In this survey paper, I discuss some recent progress on the existence and regularity of Brakke flows. These include: an "end-time version" of Brakke's local regularity theorem, which allows to extend the validity of the celebrated…

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…

We give a proof that Brakke's mean curvature flow under the unit density assumption is smooth almost everywhere in space-time. More generally, if the velocity is equal in a weak sense to its mean curvature plus some given \alpha-H\"{o}lder…

Mean curvature flow of clusters of n-dimensional surfaces in R^{n+k} that meet in triples at equal angles along smooth edges and higher order junctions on lower dimensional faces is a natural extension of classical mean curvature flow. We…

For a $k$-dimensional Brakke flow on an open subset $U \subset \mathbf{R}^{n}$, over an open time interval $J$, we prove the existence of a canonical space-time-Grassmann measure $\lambda$, over $J \times \mathbf{G}_{k} (U)$, and give a…

We develop the notion of Brakke flow with free-boundary in a barrier surface. Unlike the classical free-boundary mean curvature flow, the free-boundary Brakke flow must "pop" upon tangential contact with the barrier. We prove a compactness…

We propose a construction of mean curvature flows by approximation for very general initial data, in the spirit of the works of Brakke and of Kim & Tonegawa based on the theory of varifolds. Given a general varifold, we construct by…

Suppose that a family of $k$-dimensional surfaces in $\mathbb R^n$ evolves by the motion law of $v=h+u^\perp$ in the sense of Brakke's formulation of velocity, where $v$ is the normal velocity vector, $h$ is the generalized mean curvature…

Given a closed countably $1$-rectifiable set in $\mathbb R^2$ with locally finite $1$-dimensional Hausdorff measure, we prove that there exists a Brakke flow starting from the given set with the following regularity property. For almost all…

We give a new proof of Brakke's partial regularity theorem up to C^{1,\varsigma} for weak varifold solutions of mean curvature flow by utilizing parabolic monotonicity formula, parabolic Lipschitz approximation and blow-up technique. The…

The recent work of Morini-Oronzio-Spadaro and the third author shows that, in three dimensions, a flat-flow solution of the volume-preserving mean curvature flow that converges to a single ball, which is the case for instance when the…

We establish the $\varepsilon$-regularity theorem for $k$-dimensional, possibly forced, Brakke flows near a static, multiplicity-one triple junction. This result provides the parabolic analogue to L. Simon's foundational work on the…

We prove that, if a Brakke flow with boundary is close enough to a stationary half-plane with density one, then it is $C^{1,\alpha}$. Our approach is based on viscosity techniques introduced by Savin in the context of elliptic equations.…

This paper establishes the global-in-time existence of a multi-phase mean curvature flow, evolving from an arbitrary closed rectifiable initial datum, which is a Brakke flow and a BV solution at the same time. In particular, we prove the…

In the last 15 years, White and Huisken-Sinestrari developed a far-reaching structure theory for the mean curvature flow of mean convex hypersurfaces. Their papers provide a package of estimates and structural results that yield a precise…

In this paper we prove uniform regularity estimates for the normalized Gauss curvature flow in higher dimensions. The convergence of solutions in $C^\infty$-topology to a smooth strictly convex soliton as $t$ approaches to infinity is…

In 1978 Brakke introduced the mean curvature flow in the setting of geometric measure theory. There exist multiple variants of the original definition. Here we prove that most of them are indeed equal. One central point is to correct the…

In this article we use the mean curvature flow with surgery to derive regularity estimates for the level set flow going past Brakke regularity in certain special conditions allowing for 2-convex regions of high density. We also show a…

We prove convergence of solutions to the parabolic Allen-Cahn equation to Brakke's motion by mean curvature in space forms, generalizing previous results from [15] in Euclidean space. We show that a sequence of measures, associated to…

A family of hypersurfaces evolves by mean curvature flow if the velocity at each point is given by the mean curvature vector. Mean curvature flow is the most natural evolution equation in extrinsic geometry, and has been extensively studied…
