ABSTRACT OF THE TALK
I will present some results on the asymptotic behavior of arbitrary solutions of a fractional Allen-Cahn equation, possibly with a forcing term, as the usual small parameter goes to zero. In the limit solutions subconverge to stationary nonlocal minimal surfaces in case of no forcing, and to surfaces of prescribed fractional mean curvature in the perturbed case. Regularity issues for stationary nonlocal minimal surfaces will also be discussed. This is based on a joint work with Yannick Sire and Kelei Wang.
