Harmonic and quasi-harmonic spheres, part III. Rectifiablity of the parabolic defect measure and generalized varifold flows

Abstract

We study weakly convergent sequences of suitable weak solutions of heat flows of harmonic maps or approximated harmonic maps. We prove a dimensional stratification for the space-time concentration measure and verify that the concentration measure, viewed as a generalized varifold, moves according to the generalized varifold flow rule which reduces to the Brakke’s flow of varifold provided that the limiting harmonic map flow is suitable. We also establish an energy quantization for the density of the limiting varifold
