Summary
We investigate the branching of solutions of equivariant problems where the equivariant branching lemma does not apply, because the relevant subgroup ∑ has a 2 dimensional fixed point space. First we look at a case where ∑ is a maximal isotropy subgroup, then we consider the case where it is a submaximal isotropy subgroup.
