Abstract: We develop a method to study the structure of the common part of the boundaries of disjoint and possibly non-complementary time-varying domains in mathbbRn+1, ngeq2, at the points of mutual absolute continuity of their respective caloric measures. Our set of techniques, which is based on parabolic tangent measures, allows us to tackle the following problems: 1) Let Omega1 and Omega2 be disjoint domains in mathbbRn+1, ngeq2, which are quasi-regular for the heat equation and regular for the adjoint heat equation, and their complements satisfy a mild non-degeneracy hypothesis on the set E of mutual absolute continuity of the associated caloric measures omegai with poles at , i=1,2. Then, we obtain a parabolic analogue of the results of Kenig, Preiss, and Toro, i.e., we show that the parabolic Hausdorff dimension of omega1|E is n+1 and the tangent measures of omega1 at omega1-a.e. point of E are equal to a constant multiple of the parabolic (n+1)-Hausdorff measure restricted to hyperplanes containing a line parallel to the time-axis. 2) If, additionally, omega1 and omega2 are doubling, logfracdomega2|Edomega1|EinVMO(omega1|E), and E is relatively open in the support of omega1, then their tangent measures at {it every} point of E are caloric measures associated with adjoint caloric polynomials. As a corollary we obtain that in complementary delta-Reifenberg flat domains, if delta is small enough and logfracdomega2domega1inVMO(omega1), then Omega1capt<t2 is vanishing Reifenberg flat. This generalizes results of Kenig and Toro for the Laplacian. 3) We establish a parabolic version of a theorem of Tsirelson about triple-points for harmonic measure.
