The structure of finite Morse index solutions to two free boundary problems in mathbb{R}²

We give a description of the structure of finite Morse index solutions to two free boundary problems in $\mathbb{R}^2$. These free boundary problems are models of phase transition and they are closely related to minimal hypersurfaces. We show that these finite Morse index solutions have finitely many ends and they converge exponentially to these ends at infinity. As an important tool in the proof, a quadratic decay estimate for the curvature of free boundaries is established.
