Title: Nondegeneracy and the Jacobi fields of rotationally symmetric solutions to the Cahn-Hillard equation,
Abstract: In this paper we study rotationally symmetric solutions of the Cahn-Hilliard
equation in $\mathbb R^3$ constructed by the authors. These solutions form a
one parameter family analog to the family of Delaunay surfaces and in fact the
zero level sets of their blowdowns approach these surfaces. Presently we go a
step further and show that their stability properties are inherited from the
stability properties of the Delaunay surfaces. Our main result states that the
rotationally symmetric solutions are non degenerate and that they have exactly
$6$ Jacobi fields of temperate growth coming from the natural invariances of
the problem (3 translations and 2 rotations) and the variation of the Delaunay
parameter.
