Solutions of the fractional Allen-Cahn equation which are invariant under screw motion (Q2822149)

The authors establish existence results for the class of entire solutions to the fractional Allen-Cahn equation NEWLINE\[NEWLINE (-\Delta)^{\alpha}u + F'(u) = 0 \quad \text{in}\quad \mathbb{R}^n, \eqno{(1)} NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where double-well potential \(F\) satisfies the following properties:NEWLINENEWLINE\(1^0.\) \(t\mapsto F(t)\) is an even, positive function of the class \(C^{2,\gamma}\), with \(\gamma>\max\{0, 1 - 2\alpha\}\);NEWLINENEWLINE\(2^0.\) \(F(t)\geq F(\pm 1)\) and equality holds if and only if \(t = \pm 1\).NEWLINENEWLINEAlso it is supposed that \( F^{''}(0) < 0\) and \(F^{''}(0)t\leq F'(t)\) for every \(t\geq 0. \) The classical example of such potential is \(F(t) = \frac{1 }{4} (1 - t^2)^2.\)NEWLINENEWLINEThe basic results are contained in three theorems. In the Theorem~1 and Theorem~2 the authors prove the existence and non-existence results for solutions to (1) (in the case of space dimension \(n = 3\)), which vanish on helicoids and are invariant under screw motion. In the third Theorem it is proved that helicoids have zero non-local mean curvature.
