Is it likely that gradient flow trajectories of a $G$-invariant function pass through degenerate points?
This question may be posed somewhat vaguely, but I'm interested to actually get an idea of what to expect, so I try to not target it at a specific result.
Assume that $G$ is a compact Lie group, ...

Well-posedness of gradient flows
For a convex lower-semicontinuous functional on a Hilbert space $I\colon H\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$, it is shown in Evans' PDE that the Hilbert-space-valued ODE
$$\begin{cases}\mathbf{u}'(t)\in-\partial ...
