Résumé

We consider entire solutions to $L u = f (u)$ in $R^{2}$ , where $L$ is a nonlocal operator with translation invariant, even and compactly supported kernel K. Under different assumptions on the operator $L$ , we show that monotone solutions are necessarily one-dimensional. The proof is based on a Liouville type approach. A variational characterization of the stability notion is also given, extending our results in some cases to stable solutions.
