Generation and motion of interfaces in one-dimensional stochastic Allen-Cahn equation

In this paper we study a sharp interface limit for a stochastic reaction-diffusion equation. We consider the case that the noise is a space-time white noise multiplied by a small parameter and a smooth function which has a compact support. We show a generation of interfaces for one-dimensional stochastic Allen-Cahn equation with general initial values. We prove that interfaces are generated in a time of logarithmic order. After the generation of interfaces, we connect it to the motion of interfaces which was investigated by Funaki for special initial values.

Generation of interfaces for multi-dimensional stochastic Allen-Cahn equation with a noise smooth in space

In this paper, we study the generation of interfaces for a stochastic Allen-Cahn equation with general initial value in the multi-dimensional case that external noise is given by Q-Brownian motion. We prove that interfaces, for d-dimensional stochastic Allen-Cahn equation with scaling parameter are generated at the time of logarithmic order. Especially, in one-dimensional case, we give more detailed estimate and shape of the generated interface. Assuming that the Q-Brownian motion is smooth in space variable, we extend a comparison theorem for PDE to SPDE's in order to prove the generation. Moreover, we connect the generated interface to the motion of interface in one-dimension which is result of Funaki.
