Abstract
Networks are an important structure in many applications ranging from chemistry and biology to engineering. Pattern formation in networks has caught an ever growing interest in recent years [57]. The main focus is usually the synchronization of the cells of the network. Here, we study the converse phenomenon: under suitable symmetry assumptions, networks can decouple and continua of states emerge where all couplings cancel out each other and several pairs of cells can have arbitrary phase differences.
