Abstract

On a smooth, closed Riemannian manifold, we study the question of proportionality of components, also called synchronization, of vector-valued solutions to nonlinear elliptic Schrödinger systems with constant coefficients. In particular, we obtain bifurcation results showing the existence of branches of non-synchronized solutions emanating from the constant solutions.
