The semi-linear, elliptic PDE $AC_{\varepsilon}(u):=-\varepsilon^2\Delta u+W'(u)=0$ is called the Allen-Cahn equation. In this article we will prove the existence of finite energy solution to the Allen-Cahn equation on certain complete,…

The Allen-Cahn functional is a well studied variational problem which appears in the modeling of phase transition phenomenon. This functional depends on a parameter $\varepsilon >0$ and is intimately related to the area functional as the…

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…

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…

In this paper, we study the relation between the second inner variations of the Allen-Cahn functional and its Gamma-limit, the area functional. Our result implies that the Allen-Cahn functional only approximates well the area functional up…

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 present a survey on multiplicity results for the Allen--Cahn equation and systems in the singular perturbation regime, emphasizing their geometric interpretation through $\Gamma$-convergence and isoperimetric theory. In the scalar case,…

We prove that given a minimal hypersurface $\Gamma$ in a compact Riemannian manifold $M$ without boundary, if all the Jacobi fields of $\Gamma$ are generated by ambient isometries, then we can find solutions of the Allen-Cahn equation…

We present an extension of the Allen-Cahn/Cahn-Hilliard system which incorporates a geometrically linear ansatz for the elastic energy of the precipitates. The model contains both the elastic Allen-Cahn system and the elastic Cahn-Hilliard…

In this paper, we obtain an explicit formula for the discrepancy between the limit of the second inner variations of $p$-Laplace Allen-Cahn energies and the second inner variation of their $\Gamma$-limit which is the area functional. Our…

The formation of codimension-one interfaces for multi-well gradient-driven problems is well-known and established in the scalar case, where the equation is often referred to as the Allen-Cahn equation. The proofs rely for a large on a…

We study a functional on the boundary of a compact Riemannian 3-manifold of nonnegative scalar curvature. The functional arises as the second variation of the Wang-Yau quasi-local energy in general relativity. We prove that the functional…

We consider the isoperimetric problem defined on the whole $\mathbb{R}^n$ by the Allen--Cahn energy functional. For non-degenerate double well potentials, we prove sharp quantitative stability inequalities of quadratic type which are…

For every $0 < s <3/4$, we study the asymptotic behavior of the $\varepsilon$-rescaled sum of the $s$-fractional Allen-Cahn energy and the squared $L^2$-norm of its first variation. We prove that the contribution of the first variation…

We establish existence and non-existence results for entire solutions to the fractional Allen-Cahn equation in $\mathbb R^3$, which vanish on helicoids and are invariant under screw-motion. In addition, we prove that helicoids are surfaces…

We make use of the flexibility of infinite-index solutions to the Allen-Cahn equation to show that, given any compact hypersurface $\Sigma$ of R^d, with $d\geq 4$, there is a bounded entire solution of the Allen-Cahn equation on R^d whose…

We develop a new infinite dimensional gluing method for fractional elliptic equations. As a model problem, we construct solutions of the fractional Allen--Cahn equation vanishing on a rotationally symmetric surface which resembles a…

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 study a family of non-local isoperimetric energies $E_{\gamma,\varepsilon}$ on the round sphere $M = S^n$, where the non-local interaction kernel $K_\varepsilon$ is the fundamental solution of the Helmholtz operator $1 - \varepsilon^2…

On a Riemannian surface, the energy of a map into a Riemannian manifold is a conformal invariant functional, and its critical points are the harmonic maps. Our main result is a generalization of this theorem when the starting manifold is…
