Abstract

We are interested in the dynamics that can arise close to rotational group orbits after forced symmetry-breaking to discrete symmetries.
In particular we ask how simple or complicated the dynamics induced by symmetric {\em linear} vector fields can be. We look in detail at related tetrahedral and dihedral examples, and there we find precise conditions for a linear field to exhibit homoclinic orbits.
