Abstract: We consider the system -Delta u_j + a(x)u_j = mu_j u_j^3 + �esum_{k e j}u_k^2u_j, u_j>0, qquad j=1,...,n, on a possibly unbounded domain $Omsubset{R}^N$, $Nle3$, with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The system appears in nonlinear optics and in the analysis of mixtures of Bose-Einstein condensates. We consider the self-focussing (attractive self-interaction) case $m{u}_1,\mathrm{...},m{u}_n>0$ and take $$ as bifurcation parameter. There exists a branch of positive solutions with $u_j/u_k$ being constant for all $j,kin1,\mathrm{...},n$. The main results are concerned with the bifurcation of solutions from this branch. Using a hidden symmetry we are able to prove global bifurcation even when the linearization has even-dimensional kernel (which is always the case when $n>1$ is odd).
