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…

We prove that Allard's regularity theorem holds for rectifiable $n$-dimensional varifolds $V$ assuming a weaker condition on the first variation. This, in the special case when $V$ is a smooth manifold translates to the following: If…

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.…

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…

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…

Suppose that a countably $n$-rectifiable set $\Gamma_0$ is the support of a multiplicity-one stationary varifold in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with a point admitting a flat tangent plane $T$ of density $Q \geq 2$. We prove that, under a suitable…

In this paper we establish an improvement of tilt-excess decay estimate for the Allen-Cahn equation, and use this to give a new proof of Savin's theorem on the uniform $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity of flat level sets, which then implies the one…

In this paper we prove an analogue of the Brakke's $\varepsilon$-regularity theorem for the parabolic Allen-Cahn equation. In particular, we show uniform $C^{2,\alpha}$ regularity for the transition layers converging to smooth mean…

We study stationary integral $n$-varifolds $V$ in the unit ball $B_1(0)\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+k}$. Allard's regularity theorem establishes the existence of $\epsilon = \epsilon(n,k)\in (0,1)$ for which if $V$ is $\epsilon$-close (as…

In this paper we show boundary monotonicity formulae for rectifiable varifolds having a $C^{1,\alpha}$ "boundary". In particular, we show that the area ratios of balls centered at this "boundary'' satisfy a nice monotonicity formula,…

This paper contains a new proof of the short-time existence for the flow by curvature of a network of curves in the plane. Appearing initially in metallurgy and as a model for the evolution of grain boundaries, this flow was later treated…

This is an announcement of a series of upcoming works on boundary regularity for area minimizing currents, one of which is in collaboration with Reinaldo Resende. The setting we consider is that of an area minimizing current with a smooth…

Consider an arbitrary closed, countably $n$-rectifiable set in a strictly convex $(n+1)$-dimensional domain, and suppose that the set has finite $n$-dimensional Hausdorff measure and the complement is not connected. Starting from this given…

We propose a new weak solution concept for (two-phase) mean curvature flow which enjoys both (unconditional) existence and (weak-strong) uniqueness properties. These solutions are evolving varifolds, just as in Brakke's formulation, but are…

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 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…

For a general $k$-dimensional Brakke flow in $\mathbb{R}^n$ locally close to a $k$-dimensional plane in the sense of measure, it is proved that the flow is represented locally as a smooth graph over the plane with estimates on all the…

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 experimentally study the properties of mean and most probable velocity fields in a turbulent von K\'arm\'an flow. These fields are found to be described by two families of functions, as predicted by a recent statistical mechanics study…

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…
