Abstract

We consider the minimizers of the energy $\|u\|_{H^s(\Omega)}^2+\int_\Omega W(u)\,dx,$ with $s \in (0,1/2)$, where $\|u\|_{H^s(\Omega)}$ denotes the total contribution from $\Omega$ in the $H^s$ norm of u, and W is a double-well potential. By using a fractional Sobolev inequality, we give a new proof of the fact that the sublevel sets of a minimizer u in a large ball $B_R$ occupy a volume comparable with the volume of $B_R$.
