Nonradial sign changing solutions to Lane-Emden problem in an annulus

In this paper we prove the existence of continua of nonradial solutions for the Lane-Emden equation in the annulus. In a first result we show that there are infinitely many global continua detaching from the curve of radial solutions with any prescribed number of nodal zones. Next, using the fixed point index in cone, we produce nonradial solutions with a new type of symmetry. This result also applies to solutions with fixed signed, showing that the set of solutions to the Lane-Emden problem has a very rich and complex structure.
