Abstract
We show that any general semilinear elliptic problem with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions in an annulus AâR2m, m⩾2, invariant by the action of a certain symmetry group can be reduced to a nonhomogeneous similar problem in an annulus DâRm+1, invariant by another related symmetry. We apply this result to prove the existence of positive and sign changing solutions of a singularly perturbed elliptic problem in A which concentrate on one or two (mâ1) dimensional spheres. We also prove that the Morse indices of these solutions tend to infinity as the parameter of concentration tends to infinity.
