$L^2$ normal velocity implies strong solution for graphical Brakke flows

We prove that if a one-parameter family of varifolds has an $L^2$ normal velocity $v$ in the sense of Brakke, and if the family is represented as the graph of a continuous function $f$ with continuous spatial derivative $\nabla f$, then $f$ has weak derivatives $\partial_t f, \nabla^2 f \in L^2$, and $v$ coincides with the usual normal velocity of the graph. Moreover, by combining this result with parabolic regularity theory, we show that graphical Brakke flows with forcing term in $L^{p,q}$ and $C^{0,α}$ are strong and classical solutions to the forced mean curvature flow equation, respectively.

Abstract

We prove that if a one-parameter family of varifolds has an $L^2$ normal velocity $v$ in the sense of Brakke, and if the family is represented as the graph of a continuous function $f$ with continuous spatial derivative $\nabla f$, then $f$ has weak derivatives $\partial_t f, \nabla^2 f \in L^2$, and $v$ coincides with the usual normal velocity of the graph. Moreover, by combining this result with parabolic regularity theory, we show that graphical Brakke flows with forcing term in $L^{p,q}$ and $C^{0,α}$ are strong and classical solutions to the forced mean curvature flow equation, respectively.
