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 …

'Degenerate' tangent point of a minimal graph

Let $u: D_1 \to \mathbf{R}$ be a smooth function defined on the unit disk $D_1 \subset \mathbf{R}^2$ which describes the minimal graph $G$. Suppose that at the origin $G$ is tangent to the horizontal …

Approximation of viscosity subsolution

Let $u: \Omega \to \mathbf{R}$ be a $C^{0,\alpha}$ function, with $\alpha \in (0,1]$, defined on a bounded, open domain $\Omega$. Suppose that $u$ is a viscosity subsolution of the equation $\Delta U …

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 …

Distance function to mean curvature flow

In Ilmanen's monograph on elliptic regularization and mean curvature flow, the following claim is made. (Just for reference, this is on page 60.) For the proof—apparently standard calculations—the rea …

A harmonic function degenerate in one direction

Question. Let $u: B^3 \to \mathbf{R}$ be a harmonic function with $u(0) = 0$, $Du(0) = 0$, where its homogeneous harmonic blow-up is a polynomial $p = p(x,y)$ in two variables, so independent of $z$; …
