Abstract: We consider a system of $NinmathbbN$ mean-field interacting stochastic differential equations that are driven by a single-site potential of double-well form and by Brownian noise. The strength of the noise is measured by a small parameter $varepsilon>0$ (which we interpret as the emph{temperature}), and we suppose that the strength of the interaction is given by $J>0$. Choosing the emph{empirical mean} ($P:mathbb{R}^{N}ightarrowmathbbR$, $Px=1/Nsu{m}_i{x}_i$) as the macroscopic order parameter for the system, we show that the resulting macroscopic Hamiltonian has two global minima, one at $-m^{s}ta{r}_{v}arepsilon<0$ and one at $m^{s}ta{r}_{v}arepsilon>0$. Following this observation, we are interested in the average transition time of the system to $P^{-1}(m^{s}ta{r}_{v}arepsilon)$, when the initial configuration is drawn according to a probability measure (the so-called emph{last-exit distribution}), which is supported around the hyperplane $P^{-1}(-m^{s}ta{r}_{v}arepsilon)$. Under the assumption of strong interaction, $J>1$, the main result is a formula for this transition time, which is reminiscent of the celebrated Eyring-Kramers formula up to a multiplicative error term that tends to $1$ as $Nightarrowinfty$ and $varepsilonightarrow0$. The proof is based on the emph{potential-theoretic approach to metastability.} In the last chapter we add some estimates on the metastable transition time in the high temperature regime, where $varepsilon=1$, and for a large class of single-site potentials.
