For a solution of the Allen-Cahn equation in $\mathbb{R}^2$, under the natural linear growth energy bound, we show that the blowing down limit is unique. Furthermore, if the solution has finite Morse index, the blowing down limit satisfies…

We consider minimal surfaces $M$ which are complete, embedded and have finite total curvature in $\R^3$, and bounded, entire solutions with finite Morse index of the Allen-Cahn equation $\Delta u + f(u) = 0 \hbox{in} \R^3 $. Here $f=-W'$…

We give a description of the structure of finite Morse index solutions to two free boundary problems in $\mathbb{R}^2$. These free boundary problems are models of phase transition and they are closely related to minimal hypersurfaces. We…

In this article we study the second variation of the energy functional associated to the Allen-Cahn equation on closed manifolds. Extending well known analogies between the gradient theory of phase transitions and the theory of minimal…

In this paper, we prove even symmetry and monotonicity of certain solutions of Allen-Cahn equation in a half plane. We also show that entire solutions with {\it finite Morse index} and {\it four ends} must be evenly symmetric with respect…

We show that the Morse index of every 2k-ended solution of the Allen-Cahn equation in R^2 is >= k-1. This bound is expected to be sharp.

The elliptic sine-Gordon equation in the plane has a family of explicit multiple-end solutions (soliton-like solutions). We show that all the finite Morse index solutions belong to this family. We also prove they are non-degenerate in the…

We consider finite Morse index solutions to semilinear elliptic questions, and we investigate their smoothness. It is well-known that: - For $n=2$, there exist Morse index $1$ solutions whose $L^\infty$ norm goes to infinity. - For $n \geq…

We study global solutions to the classical one-phase free boundary problem that have finite Morse index relative to the Alt-Caffarelli functional. We show that such solutions are stable outside a compact set and characterize the index as…

A well-known conjecture of De Giorgi -- motivated by analogy with the Bernstein problem for minimal surfaces -- asserts the rigidity of monotone solutions to the Allen--Cahn equation in $\mathbb{R}^{d+1}$, with $d\leq 7$. We establish close…

In this paper, we consider immersed two-sided minimal hypersurfaces in $\mathbb{R}^n$ with finite total curvature. We prove that the sum of the Morse index and the nullity of the Jacobi operator is bounded from below by a linear function of…

For an immersed minimal surface in $\mathbb{R}^3$, we show that there exists a lower bound on its Morse index that depends on the genus and number of ends, counting multiplicity. This improves, in several ways, an estimate we previously…

The Allen-Cahn equation is a semilinear PDE which is deeply linked to the theory of minimal hypersurfaces via a singular limit. We prove curvature estimates and strong sheet separation estimates for stable solutions (building on recent work…

We use a min-max procedure on the Allen-Cahn energy functional to construct geodesics on closed, 2-dimensional Riemannian manifolds, as motivated by the work of Guaraco. Borrowing classical blowup and curvature estimates from geometric…

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…

This paper is motivated by the question of whether a sequence of solutions of a given integrable system can be blown up to obtain a solution of a different integrable system in the limit. We study a specific example of this phenomenon.…

In this paper, we study the prescribed $Q$-curvature problem on closed four-dimensional Riemannian manifolds when the total integral of the $Q$-curvature is a positive integer multiple of the one of the four-dimensional round sphere. This…

This is the second paper in our sequence. Here, we apply our abstract Morse index formulation developed in the previous paper to study several optimization set-ups with constraints, including type I or/and type II considerations. A common…

In this paper, we present a sufficient condition for finite Morse index of complete properly self-shrinkers. We prove that a complete properly embedded self-shrinker in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$ with finite asymptotically conical ends or…
