A General Regularity Theory for Weak Mean Curvature Flow

We give a new proof of Brakke’s partial regularity theorem up to C for weak varifold solutions of mean curvature flow by utilizing parabolic monotonicity formula, parabolic Lipschitz approximation and blow-up technique. The new proof extends to a general flow whose velocity is the sum of the mean curvature and any given background flow field in a dimensionally sharp integrability class. It is a natural parabolic generalization of Allard’s regularity theorem in the sense that the special time-independent case reduces to Allard’s theorem.
