abstract
We study the gradient flow of the Allen-Cahn equation with fixed boundary contact angle in Euclidean domains for initial data with bounded energy. Under general assumptions, we establish both interior and boundary convergence properties for the solutions and associated energy measures. Under various boundary non-concentration assumptions, we show that, for almost every time, the associated limiting varifolds satisfy generalised contact angle conditions and have bounded first variation, as well as deducing that the trace of the limit of the solutions coincides with the limit of their traces. Moreover, we derive an Ilmanen type monotonicity formula, for initial data with bounded energy, valid for the associated energy measures up to the boundary.

The vector-valued Allen-Cahn equation with potentials of high-dimensional double-wells under Robin boundary conditions
The vector-valued Allen-Cahn equation with Robin boundary conditions converges locally in time to mean curvature flow with contact angle, and the limits solve harmonic heat flow and a minimal pair condition.
