Solutions of the Allen-Cahn equation on closed manifolds in the presence of symmetry

Abstract: We prove that given a minimal hypersurface

G a m m a

in a compact Riemannian manifold

M

without boundary, if all the Jacobi fields of

G a m m a

are generated by ambient isometries, then we can find solutions of the Allen-Cahn equation

- v a r e p s i l o n^{2} D e l t a u + W^{'} (u) = 0

on

M

, for sufficiently small

v a r e p s i l o n > 0

, whose nodal sets converge to

G a m m a

. This extends the results of Pacard-Ritor'e (in the case of closed manifolds and zero mean curvature).
