Abstract: This work studies the regularity and the geometric significance of solution of the Cauchy problem for a degenerate parabolic equation ut=Deltaum. Our main objective is to improve the Hddotolder 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)inCalpha,fracalpha2(mathbbRnimesmathbbR+), 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 mathbbRn 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 Hddotolder estimate (u(x,t)inCalpha,fracalpha2(mathbbRnimesmathbbR+) 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.
