Abstract: This paper investigates the connection between the effective, large scale behavior of Allen-Cahn energy functionals in periodic media and the sharp interface limit of the associated $L^2$ gradient flows. By introducing a Percival-type Lagrangian in the cylinder $mathbbRimesmathbb{T}^d$, we establish a link between the $Gamma$-convergence results of Anisini, Braides, and Chiad`{o} Piat and the sharp interface limit results of Barles and Souganidis. In laminar media, we prove a sharp interface limit in a graphical setting, making no assumptions other than sufficient smoothness of the coefficients, and we prove that the effective interface velocity and surface tension satisfy an Einstein relation. A number of pathologies are presented to highlight difficulties that do not arise in the spatially homogeneous setting.
