Abstract: We investigate the Allen-Cahn system �egin{equation*} Delta u-W_u(u)=0,quad u:mathbb{R}^2 ightarrowmathbb{R}^2, end{equation*} where WinC2(mathbbR2,[0,+infty)) is a potential with three global minima. We establish the existence of an entire solution u which possesses a triple junction structure. The main strategy is to study the global minimizer uvarepsilon of the variational problem �egin{equation*} minint_{B_1} left( frac{varepsilon}{2}| abla u|^2+frac{1}{varepsilon}W(u) ight),dz, u=g_varepsilon ext{ on }partial B_1. end{equation*} The point of departure is an energy lower bound that plays a crucial role in estimating the location and size of the diffuse interface. We do not impose any symmetry hypothesis on the solution.
