The Ln1L^{n-1}-curvature conjecture for two-convex mean curvature flows

Let {MtRn+1}t[0,T)\{M_t\subset\mathbb{R}^{n+1}\}_{t\in [0,T)} be a mean curvature flow of two-convex closed embedded hypersurfaces. Here A\lvert A\rvert denotes the norm of the second fundamental form and dμd\mu the induced measure on MtM_t. Ln1L^{n-1}-curvature conjecture. There is a constant C<C<\infty, depending only on the geometric parameters of the initial hypersurface, such that

MtAn1dμC.\int_{M_t} \lvert A\rvert^{n-1}\,d\mu\leq C.

The conjecture strengthens the known uniform bounds with exponent n1εn-1-\varepsilon for every ε>0\varepsilon>0 and would provide critical curvature control near the first singular time. Its precise status is not established in the supplied source.
