Slow motion and metastability for a non local evolution equation

In this paper we consider a non local evolution mean field equation proving the existence of an invariant, unstable, one dimensional manifold connecting the critical droplet with the stable and the metastable phases. We prove that the points on the manifold are droplets longer or shorter than the cr...

Sumario:In this paper we consider a non local evolution mean field equation proving the existence of an invariant, unstable, one dimensional manifold connecting the critical droplet with the stable and the metastable phases. We prove that the points on the manifold are droplets longer or shorter than the critical one, and that their motion is very slow in agreement with the theory of metastable patterns.
