abstract = "We consider the existence and stability of heteroclinic cycles arising by local bifurcation in dynamical systems with wreath product symmetry = Z2 G, where Z2 acts by ± 1 on R and G is a transitive subgroup of the permutation group SN (thus G has degree N). The group acts absolutely irreducibly on RN. We consider primary (codimension one) bifurcations from an equilibrium to heteroclinic cycles as real eigenvalues pass through zero. We relate the possibility of such cycles to the existence of non-gradient equivariant vector fields of cubic order. Using Hilbert series and the software package MAGMA we show that apart from the cyclic groups G (previously studied by other authors) only five groups G of degree
7 are candidates for the existence of heteroclinic cycles. We establish the existence of certain types of heteroclinic cycle in these cases by making use of the concept of a subcycle. We also discusss edge cycles, and a generalization of heteroclinic cycles which we call a heteroclinic web. We apply our method to three examples.",
