The author establishes the existence of equivariant solutions for systems \[ \Delta u -W_u(u) =0, x \in \mathbb{R}^n. \] Assume that \(G\) is a finite group that acts by reflections on both, \(\mathbb{R}^n\) and \(\mathbb{R}^m\), and assume the potential \(W: \mathbb{R}^m \to \mathbb{R}\) is \(G\)-invariant, i.e. \(W(gu) = W(u)\) for any \(u\in \mathbb{R}^m\) and \(g \in G\). Under a coercivity condition on \(W\) and assuming that \(W\) has a non-degenerate local minimum point \(a\), it is proved that there exists an equivariant solution \(u: \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^m\) (i.e. \(u(gx) =gu(x)\) for all \(x\in \mathbb{R}^n\) and \(g\in G\)) which connects the points in the orbit of \(a\).
