Simple phase field equations for scalar functions have been well studied, and much have been understood. For the vector-valued case, however, the phenomena are much more complex. I shall start with simple examples of two-component Ginzburg-Landau equations arise in the superconductivity to demonstrate multiple time scales involved in the global dynamics. After that, I shall discuss some recent progress on the Keller-Rubinstein-Sternberg problem.
