In this talk, we will discuss the symmetry of
stationary and traveling wave solutions in low dimensional spaces,
in relation to De Giorgi's conjecture on the one dimensional symmetry of
monotone solutions in dimensions less than or equal to 8. In
particular, recent results on the even symmetry of certain saddle
solutions and traveling wave solutions in the entire plane will
be presented.
