We establish the existence of a global invariant manifold of bubble states for the mass-conserving Allen-Cahn Equation in two space dimensions and give the dynamics for the center of the bubble.

Keywords: infinitely dimensional dynamical systems, bubble solution, Invariant manifold theory, global dynamics., mass-conserving Allen-Cahn Equation.
