Half space theorem for the Allen-Cahn equation and related problems

Analysis of PDEs 2019-07-30 v3

Abstract

In this paper we obtain rigidity results for a bounded non-constant entire solution uu of the Allen-Cahn equation in Rn\mathbb{R}^n, whose level set {u=0}\{u=0\} is contained in a half-space. If n3n\leq 3 we prove that the solution must be one-dimensional. In dimension n4n\geq 4, we prove that either the solution is one-dimensional or stays below a one-dimensional solution and converges to it after suitable translations. Some generalizations to one phase free boundary problems are also obtained.
