Abstract

Given a family of smooth immersions of closed hypersurfaces in a locally sym-metric Riemannian manifold with bounded geometry, moving by mean curvature flow, we show that at the first finite singular time of mean curvature flow, certain subcritical quan-tities concerning the second fundamental form blow up. This result not only generalizes a result of Le-Sesum and Xu-Ye-Zhao, but also extends the latest work of Le in the Euclidean case.
