We report the existence of a chimera state in an assembly of identical nonlinear oscillators that are globally linked to each other in a simple planar cross-coupled form. The rotational symmetry breaking of the coupling term appears to be…

Solitary states emerge in oscillator networks when one oscillator separates from the fully synchronized cluster and becomes incoherent with the rest of the network. Such chimera-type patterns with an incoherent state formed by a single…
