Abstract: In this talk I will discuss a uniform $C^{2,\theta}$ estimate for level sets of stable solutions to the singularly perturbed Allen-Cahn equation in dimensions $n \leq 10$ (which is optimal). The proof combines two ingredients: one is a reverse application of the infinite dimensional Lyapunov-Schmidt reduction method which enables us to reduce the $C^{2,\theta}$ estimate for these level sets to a corresponding one on solutions of Toda system; the other one uses a small regularity theorem on stable solutions of Toda system to establish various decay estimates, which gives a lower bound on distances between different sheets of solutions to Toda system or level sets of solutions to Allen-Cahn equation.

NCTS international Geometric Measure Theory seminar

Series comments: We envisage an event built around virtual presentations on progress in geometric measure theory by external speakers. Every researcher is free to register as a participant and thus gain access to a virtual facility which is complete with lobby, lecture hall, and areas with boards for discussion. Thus, it shall recreate the exchange possibilities found at international conferences.

Focus: regularity and singularity theories for submanifolds of Riemannian manifolds and some of its applications.

Frequency: one presentation every other month.

Registration: required for new participants, go to the seminar website (allow at least one working day for processing).

Virtual venue: HyHyve space NCTS iGMT seminar (only for registered participants, opened one hour before the events).

You might want to consult the description of the premises and instructions.

Former organiser: Guido De Philippis (till March 2022).

Organizers: Ulrich Menne*, Yoshihiro Tonegawa, Neshan Wickramasekera
