Integral identity for critical points of the Ginzburg-Landau functional
I am reading a paper of Comte and Mironescu [CM96], where they discuss critical points $v = v_{\epsilon}: G \to \mathbf{C}$ of the (non-magnetic) Ginzburg–Landau functional
$E_\epsilon(v) = \frac{1}{2 …

Intersection of $n$-dimensional minimal surfaces with two-dimensional planes
Let $M^n \subset \mathbf{R}^{n+k}$ be a smoothly embedded minimal surface. When the dimension is $n = 2$ and the codimension is $k = 1$ the intersection of $M$ with planes is well understood. If $M$ a …

The attractive 'force' between phase interfaces in the Allen-Cahn model
The heuristic explanation of the behavior of phase transition in the Allen–Cahn model describes two 'forces' at play:
the curvature of the phase interfaces—they each 'want to' minimize length;
and an …
