Stable Allen–Cahn level-set curvature conjecture in dimensions at most seven

Let Ω⊂Rn\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n be a domain, and let uεju_{\varepsilon_j} be stable solutions of the Allen–Cahn equation in Ω\Omega, where εj↓0\varepsilon_j \downarrow 0. Assume that the sequence has uniformly bounded energy. The interfacial regions are {−0.9<uεj<0.9}\{ -0.9 < u_{\varepsilon_j} < 0.9 \}.

Stable Allen–Cahn regularity conjecture. If n≤7n \leq 7, then the curvatures of the level sets of uεju_{\varepsilon_j} in these interfacial regions are uniformly bounded along the sequence on compact subdomains of Ω\Omega.

A positive answer would give smooth, possibly multiplicity-bearing convergence of stable Allen–Cahn solutions to minimal hypersurfaces in the singular limit. The conjecture is presented as a fundamental regularity question and its resolution is linked to multiplicity-one and Morse-index questions for Allen–Cahn approximations.
