contents Systems of ODEs coupled with the topology of a closed ring are common models in biology, robotics, electrical engineering, and many other areas of science. When the component systems and couplings are identical, the system has a cyclic symmetry group for unidirectional rings and a dihedral symmetry group for bidirectional rings. Hopf bifurcation in equivariant and network dynamics predicts the generic occurrence of periodic discrete rotating waves whose phase patterns are determined by the symmetry group. We review basic aspects of the theory in some detail and derive general properties of such rings. New results are obtained characterising the first bifurcation for long-range couplings and the direction in which discrete rotating wave states rotate.
