In this talk we will first consider the Allen-Cahn action functional that controls the probability of rare events in an Allen-Cahn type equation with additive noise. Further we discuss a perturbation of the Allen-Cahn equation by a stochastic flow. Here we will present a tightness result in the sharp interface limit and discuss the relation to a version of stochastically perturbed mean curvature flow. (This is joint work with Luca Mugnai, Leipzig, and Hendrik Weber, Warwick.)
