Title: Stochastic perturbations of the Allen-Cahn equation

Author: Tony Shardlow (University of Manchester, England)
    
Abstract: 
  Consider the Allen-Cahn equation with small diffusion $\epsilon^2$
  perturbed by a space time white noise of intensity $\sigma$. In the
  limit, $\sigma / \epsilon^2 \rightarrow 0$, solutions converge to
  the noise free problem in the $L_2$ norm. Under these conditions,
  asymptotic results for the evolution of phase boundaries in the
  deterministic setting are extended, to describe the behaviour of the
  stochastic Allen-Cahn PDE by a system of stochastic differential
  equations.  Computations are described, which support the
  asymptotic derivation.
