The aim of this paper is to show that, for a class of non-cooperative elliptic systems on compact symmetric spaces, any continuum of nontrivial solutions bifurcating from the set of trivial solutions is unbounded. The main tool is the…

Spontaneous symmetry breaking is a well-understood mechanism for generating distinct phases of matter. Recently, the notion of symmetry has been broadened to include operations without inverses, leading to the concept of non-invertible…
