We obtain non-radial bifurcation from radial solutions of a semilinear elliptic equation in expanding annuli of \(\mathbb {R}^N\). To obtain the main results, we use a blow-up argument via the Morse index of the regular entire solutions of the equation $$\begin{aligned} -\Delta u=\lambda u^p \quad \text {in}\quad \mathbb {R}^N. \end{aligned}$$ (0.1)The main results of this paper can be seen as applications of the properties of regular entire solutions of (0.1).KeywordsExpanding annuliBifurcationSymmetry breakingMorse indexSupercritical exponentResearch of the first author is supported by NSFC (11171092, 11571093); Research of the second author is supported by NSFC (11371117).
