Abstract

This paper deals with the construction of solutions to autonomous semilinear elliptic equations considered in entire space. In the absence of space dependence or explicit geometries of the ambient space, the point is to unveil internal mechanisms of the equation that trigger the presence of families of solutions with interesting concentration patterns. We discuss the connection between minimal surface theory and entire solutions of the Allen-Cahn equation. In particular, for dimensions 9 or higher, we build an example that provides a negative answer to a celebrated question by De Giorgi for this problem. We will also discuss related results for the (actually more delicate) standing wave problem in nonlinear
