Abstract: The semi-linear, elliptic PDE $A{C}_{varepsilon}(u):=-varepsilo{n}^{2}Deltau+W^{\prime }(u)=0$ 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 $n+1geq3$) is a complete Riemannian manifold of finite volume. Then there exists $varepsilo{n}_0>0$, depending on the ambient Riemannian metric, such that for all $0<varepsilonleqvarepsilo{n}_0$, there exists $mathfrak{u}_{varepsilon}:Mightarrow(-1,1)$ satisfying $A{C}_{varepsilon}(mathfrak{u}_{varepsilon})=0$ with the energy $E_{varepsilon}(mathfrak{u}_{varepsilon})<infty$ and the Morse index $extInd(mathfrak{u}_{varepsilon})leq1$. Moreover, $0<limin{f}_{varepsilonightarrow0}{E}_{varepsilon}(mathfrak{u}_{varepsilon})leqlimsu{p}_{varepsilonightarrow0}{E}_{varepsilon}(mathfrak{u}_{varepsilon})<infty.$ Our result is motivated by the theorem of Chambers-Liokumovich and Song, which says that $M$ contains a complete minimal hypersurface $Sigma$ with $0<mathcal{H}^n(Sigma)<infty.$ This theorem can be recovered from our result.
