The classification of reversible-equivariant steady-state bifurcations on self-dual spaces
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 September 2008
Abstract
In this paper we apply singularity theory methods to the classification of reversible-equivariant steady-state bifurcations depending on one real parameter. We assume that the group of symmetries and reversing symmetries is a compact Lie group Γ, and the equivalence is defined in order to preserve these symmetries and reversing symmetries in the normal forms and their unfoldings. When the representation of Γ is self-dual, we show that the classification can be reduced to the standard equivariant context. In this case, we establish a one-to-one association between the classification of bifurcations in the reversible-equivariant context and the classification of purely equivariant bifurcations related to them. As an application of the results, we obtain the classification of self-dual representations of Z2 ⊕ Z2 and D4 on the plane.
