In this article we study the relationship between the degree forinvariant strongly indefinite functionals and the equivariantConley index. We prove that, under certain assumptions, achange of the equivariant Conley indices is equivalent to thechange of the degrees for equivariant gradient maps. Moreover, weformulate easy to verify sufficient conditions for theexistence of a global bifurcation of critical orbits of invariantstrongly indefinite functionals.
Keywords: Equivariant Conley index, equivariant gradient degree, compact Lie group, strongly indefinite operator..
