Bifurcations of critical tori for functionals with 3-circular symmetry (Q1576937)

Bifurcations of sets of critical points of a smooth functional defined on a Banach manifold \(M\) and invariant with respect to a smooth action of an \(m\)-dimensional torus have a wide range of applications. This paper deals with this problem in the case \(m=3\). In particular, the author gives a complete description of the bifurcation of Morse critical orbits from a point of minimum with a 3-circular pleat singularity.
