Abstract
We are concerned with the saddle solutions of the Allen-Cahn equation constructed by Cabr\'{e} and Terra \cite{C,C2} in . These solutions vanish precisely on the Simons cone. The existence and uniqueness of saddle solution are shown in \cite{C,C2,C1}. Regarding the stability, Schatzman \cite{Sch} proved that the saddle solution is unstable for Cabr\'{e} \cite{C1} showed the instability for and stability for . This has left open the case of . In this paper we show that the saddle solutions are stable when , thereby confirming Cabr\'{e}'s conjecture in \cite{C1}. The conjecture that saddle solutions in dimensions should be global minimizers of the energy functional remains open.
