Abstract
In this paper, we study the $k$-cylindrical singular set of mean curvature flow in $\mathbb R^{n+1}$ for each $1\leq k\leq n-1$. We prove that they are locally contained in a $k$-dimensional $C^{2,\alpha}$-submanifold after removing some lower-dimensional parts. Moreover, if the $k$-cylindrical singular set is a $k$-submanifold, then its curvature is determined by the asymptotic profile of the flow at these singularities. As a byproduct, we provide a detailed asymptotic profile and graphical radius estimate at these singularities. The proof is based on a new $L^2$-distance non-concentration property that we introduced in [SWX25], modified into a relative version that allows us to modulo those low eigenmodes that are not decaying fast enough and do not contribute to the curvature of the singular set.
