Abstract: This work studies the regularity and the geometric significance of solution of the Cauchy problem for a degenerate parabolic equation $u_t=Delta{u}^m$. Our main objective is to improve the H$ddoto$lder estimate obtained by pioneers and then, to show the geometric characteristic of free boundary of degenerate parabolic equation. To be exact, the present work will show that: (1) the weak solution $u(x,t)in{C}^{alpha,fracalpha2}(mathbb{R}^{n}imesmathbb{R}^{+})$, where $alphain(0,1)$ when $mgeq2$ and $alpha=1$ when $min(1,2)$; (2) the surface $$ is a complete Riemannian manifold, which is tangent to $mathbb{R}^n$ at the boundary of the positivity set of $u(x,t)$. (3) the function $$ is a classical solution to another degenerate parabolic equation if $$ is large sufficiently; Moreover, some explicit expressions about the speed of propagation of $u(x,t)$ and the continuous dependence on the nonlinearity of the equation are obtained. Recalling the older H$ddoto$lder estimate ($u(x,t)in{C}^{alpha,fracalpha2}(mathbb{R}^{n}imesmathbb{R}^{+})$ with $0<alpha<1$ for all $m>1$), we see our result (1) improves the older result and, based on this conclusion, we can obtain (2), which shows the geometric characteristic of free boundary.
