DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Giacomo Di Gesù\nhosted by M. Beiglboeck\, N. Beresty
 cki\, L. Erdoes\, J. Maas\nAbstract: We consider the Allen-Cahn equation o
 n the one-dimensional torus\, perturbed by a small spacetime white noise. 
 The deterministic equation is a nonlinear PDE\, which can be seen as a gra
 dient flow with respect to a double-well energy. If a small noise is added
 \, the typical picture of a metastable dynamics emerges: the system quickl
 y reaches a local equilibrium in one of the two wells\; this state endures
  for an exponentially long time\, until a sufficiently large stochastic fl
 uctuation enables the system to overcome the energetic barrier separating 
 the two wells. This behavior produces a slowdown in the relaxation to the 
 equilibrium measure\, reflected e.g. by an exponentially small spectral ga
 p. In this talk I will present a technique which provides a formula for th
 e precise asymptotic behavior of the spectral gap\, showing that the prefa
 ctor is given by a suitable Fredholm determinant. The formula shows that t
 he gap behaves like twice the inverse of the metastable transition time fr
 om one well to the other.
