Dynamics of a ring of pulse--coupled oscillators: a group theoretic approach

We use group theoretic methods to analyse phase-locking in a ring of identical integrate-and-fire oscillators with distributed delays. It is shown how certain phase-locked solutions emerge through symmetry breaking bifurcations as some characteristic delay of the system is varied. The reduction to a phase-coupled model in the weak coupling regime is discussed.
