Symmetry Breaking Bifurcation

We use singularity theory to classify forced symmetry-breaking bifurcation problems where f1 is 𝕆(2)-equivariant and f2 is 𝔻n-equivariant with the orthogonal group actions on z ∈ ℝ2. Forced symmetry breaking occurs when the symmetry of the equation changes when parameters are varied. We explicitly apply our results to the branching of subharmonic solutions in a model periodic perturbation of an autonomous equation and sketch further applications.

Parameter Symmetry

The study of equivariant bifurcation problems via singularity theory (Golubitsky and Schaeffer[8], Golubitsky, Stewart and Schaeffer[9]) has been mainly concerned with models exhibiting spontaneous symmetry-breaking. The solutions of such bifurcation problems lose symmetry as the parameters vary, but the equations that they satisfy retain the same symmetry throughout.

The modular group PSL(2, ℤ), which is isomorphic to a free product of a cyclicgroupof order 2 and a cyclic group of order 3, has many important homomorphic images. Inparticular, Macbeath [7] showed that PSL(2, q) is an image of the modular group if q ≠ 9. (Here, as usual, q is a prime power.) The extended modular group PGL(2, ℤ) contains PSL{2, ℤ) with index 2. It has a presentationthe subgroup PSL(2, ℤ) being generated by UV and VW.

Symmetry Breaking Bifurcation

Designs of many micro devices take advantage of the symmetry for better performance, immunity to noise, and for simpler analysis. When a symmetric structure is subjected to symmetric forcing, the symmetric response can become unstable leading to asymmetric responses. The occurrence of symmetry breaking bifurcation leads to complicated dynamic responses which often result in less desirable performances. In this paper, we obtain analytical criteria for the onset of symmetry breaking bifurcations. We also conduct numerical simulations to demonstrate different types of asymmetric dynamic responses resulting from the symmetry breaking bifurcation. In particular, we show the occurrence of amplitude modulated motions in such systems.

Bifurcation of non-radial solutions from radial solutions of a semilinear elliptic equation with negative exponent in expanding annuli of ℝ2 is studied. To obtain the main results, we use a blow-up argument via the Morse index of the regular entire solutions of the equationThe main results of this paper can be seen as applications of the results obtained recently for finite Morse index solutions of the equationwith N ⩾ 2 and p > 0.
