Abstract: In this paper we construct entire solutions $u_{varepsilon}$ to the Cahn-Hilliard equation $$, under the volume constraint $in{t}_{mathbb{R}^3}(1-u_{varepsilon})dx=4sqrt2p{i}^2$, whose nodal set approaches the Clifford Torus, that is the Torus with radii of ratio $1/sqrt2$ embedded in $mathbb{R}^3$, as $varepsilono0$. What is crucial is that the Clifford Torus is a Willmore hypersurface and it is non-degenerate, up to conformal transformations. The proof is based on the Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction and on careful geometric expansions of the laplacian.
