Interface motion in a planar spin-flip model derived from exclusion on the line

We consider a two-dimensional spin-flip model, which can be interpreted as the limit of the Ising model at low temperature and a small nonzero external field. In the hydrodynamic limit and for a special class of initial conditions, the motion of the interface is governed by a nonlinear partial differential equation with a lattice-distorted curvature term. In our proofs we use results about the hydrodynamic behavior of the weakly asymmetric exclusion process on the integers and also on the nonnegative integers with a trap at the boundary.
