Abstract
We revisit the nonlinear stability of the critical invasion front in the Ginzburg–Landau equation. Our main result shows that the amplitude of localized perturbations decays with rate t-3/2, while the phase decays diffusively. We thereby refine earlier work of Bricmont and Kupiainen as well as Eckmann and Wayne, who separately established nonlinear stability but with slower decay rates. On a technical level, we rely on sharp linear estimates obtained through analysis of the resolvent near the essential spectrum via a far-field/core decomposition which is well suited to accurately describing the dynamics of separate neutrally stable modes arising from far-field behavior on the left and right.
