The Allen–Cahn action functional in higher dimensions
The Allen-Cahn action functional is related to the probability of rare events in the stochastically perturbed Allen-Cahn equation.Formal calculations suggest a reduced action functional in the sharp interface limit.We prove the corresponding lower bound in two and three space dimensions.One difficulty is that diffuse interfaces may collapse in the limit.We …
