We extend previous works on the multiplicity of solutions to the Allen-Cahn system on closed Riemannian manifolds by considering an arbitrary number of phases. Specifically, we show that on parallelizable manifolds, the number of solutions…

We show that stable solutions $u:\mathbb{R}^4\to (-1,1)$ to the Allen-Cahn equation with bounded energy density (or equivalently, with cubic energy growth) are one-dimensional. This is known to entail important geometric consequences, such…

Let $\Gamma$ be a compact codimension-two submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^n$, and let $L$ be a nontrivial real line bundle over $X = \mathbb{R}^n \setminus \Gamma$. We study the Allen--Cahn functional, \[E_\varepsilon(u) = \int_X \varepsilon…
