Abstract
We consider a nonlocal reaction-diffusion equation that physically arises from the classical Peierls-Nabarro model for dislocations in crystalline structures. Our initial configuration corresponds to multiple slip loop dislocations in , . After suitably rescaling the equation with a small phase parameter , the rescaled solution solves a fractional Allen-Cahn equation. We show that, as , the limiting solution exhibits multiple interfaces evolving independently and according to their mean curvature.
