We provide a generalization of Bianchi's B\"{a}cklund transformation from 2-dimensional quadrics to higher dimensional quadrics. The starting point of our investigation is the higher dimensional (infinitesimal) version of Bianchi's main…
We investigate basic features of Bianchi's B\"acklund transformation of quadrics to see if it can be obtained under weaker assumptions and if it can be generalized to deformations of other surfaces.
The generalization of Archimedes strategy to obtain the area of a parabolic segment leads to combinatorial formulas involving minimal covers of sets. These, in turn, are conjecturally related to $q$-binomial coefficients.
Addition formulae of trigonometric and elliptic functions are used to generate B\"acklund transformations together with their connecting quadrilateral equations. As a result we obtain periodic solutions for a number of multidimensionally…
Confocal quadrics capture (encode) and geometrize spectral properties of symmetric operators. Certain metric-projective properties of confocal quadrics (most of them established in the first half of the XIX$^{\mathrm{th}}$ century) {\it…
We prove the Bianchi permutability (existence of superposition principle) of B\"acklund transformations for asymmetric quad-equations. Such equations and there B\"acklund transformations form 3D consistent systems of a priori different…
In trying to generalize Bianchi's B\"acklund transformation of quadrics to B\"acklund transformations of isometric deformations of other (classes of) surfaces, we investigate basic features of the isometric deformation of surfaces via the…
B\"acklund transformations (BTs) are traditionally regarded as a tool for integrating nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs). Their use has been recently extended, however, to problems such as the construction of recursion…
We characterize Bianchi-B\"{a}cklund transformations of surfaces of positive constant Gauss curvature in terms of dressing actions of the simplest type on the space of harmonic maps.
Treating an integrable quad-equation along with its two generalised symmetries as a compatible system allows one to construct an auto-B\"acklund transformation for solutions of the related NLS-type system. A fixed periodic reduction of the…
We use the dressing method to construct transformations of constrained Willmore surfaces in arbitrary codimension. An adaptation of the Terng--Uhlenbeck theory of dressing by simple factors to this context leads us to define B\"acklund…
Using Cartan's Method of Equivalence, we prove an upper bound for the generality of generic rank-1 B\"acklund transformations relating two hyperbolic Monge-Amp\`ere systems. In cases when the B\"acklund transformation admits a symmetry…
We provide the B\"{a}cklund transforms of Peterson's isometric deformations of diagonal higher dimensional quadrics without center. These are found explicitly. can be iterated via the Bianchi Permutability Theorem and can be further…
The ideas behind the concept of algebraic ("integration-by-parts") algorithms for multiloop calculations are reviewed. For any topology and mass pattern, a finite iterative algebraic procedure is proved to exist which transforms the…
Building upon Bennett's and Grosse-Erdmann's ideas falling under the conceptual umbrella of factorization of inequalities, we propose a unified approach towards the structure of certain Banach ideal spaces defined in terms of the least…
We study harmonic maps from a subset of the complex plane to a subset of the hyperbolic plane. In \cite{FotDask}, harmonic maps are related to the sinh-Gordon equation and a B{\"a}cklund transformation is introduced, which connects…
We define and study an $\ell$-adic Fourier transform for a relative version of Banach-Colmez spaces (over a perfectoid space which is not necessarily a geometric point), which can be thought of as some analytic analogue of the $\ell$-adic…
The theorems of vector analysis (divergence theorem, etc.) are typically first applied in the undergraduate physics curriculum in the context of the electromagnetic field and the differential forms of Maxwell's equations. However, these…
The purpose of this work is to present a method based on the factorizations used in one dimensional quantum mechanics in order to find the symmetries of quantum and classical superintegrable systems in higher dimensions. We apply this…
