The authors study the boundary behaviour of non-negative viscosity solutions to the fully nonlinear parabolic equation \[ D(D^2u,Du,u,x,t)=u_t \quad \text{in }\mathbb{R}^{n+1}. \] The main results are Carleson estimates (or boundary Harnack principles), an elliptic type of Harnack principle and most importantly a comparison theorem for sub/super solutions. One of the main ingredients of the proof is that the derivation of the above results is actually in a more general setting, namely for viscosity sub/super solutions of the parabolic versions of the Pucci extremal operators. This is possible because of the assumption of uniform parabolicity and implies that the results hold true for equations more general than the PDE above, for example, for the singular ``non-variational'' \(p\)-Laplacian equation \[ |Du|^{2-p}\mathrm{div} \big(|Du|^{p-2}Du \big)\, =\, u_t. \] The reviewer thinks this is an excellent well-written paper.
