Differential geometry of immersions (minimal, prescribed curvature, tight, etc.) (53C42)

Abstract: The semi-linear, elliptic PDE

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

is called the Allen-Cahn equation. In this article we will prove the existence of finite energy solution to the Allen-Cahn equation on certain complete, non-compact manifolds. More precisely, suppose

M^{n + 1}

(with

n + 1 g e q 3

) is a complete Riemannian manifold of finite volume. Then there exists

v a r e p s i l o n_{0} > 0

, depending on the ambient Riemannian metric, such that for all

0 < v a r e p s i l o n l e q v a r e p s i l o n_{0}

, there exists

m a t h f r a k u_{v a r e p s i l o n} : M i g h t a r r o w (- 1, 1)

satisfying

A C_{v a r e p s i l o n} (m a t h f r a k u_{v a r e p s i l o n}) = 0

with the energy

E_{v a r e p s i l o n} (m a t h f r a k u_{v a r e p s i l o n}) < i n f t y

and the Morse index

e x t I n d (m a t h f r a k u_{v a r e p s i l o n}) l e q 1

. Moreover,

0 < l i m i n f_{v a r e p s i l o n i g h t a r r o w 0} E_{v a r e p s i l o n} (m a t h f r a k u_{v a r e p s i l o n}) l e q l i m s u p_{v a r e p s i l o n i g h t a r r o w 0} E_{v a r e p s i l o n} (m a t h f r a k u_{v a r e p s i l o n}) < i n f t y .

Our result is motivated by the theorem of Chambers-Liokumovich and Song, which says that

M

contains a complete minimal hypersurface

S i g m a

with

0 < m a t h c a l H^{n} (S i g m a) < i n f t y .

This theorem can be recovered from our result.
