Let $M$ be a closed orientable surface of negative curvature. A connection is said to be transparent if its parallel transport along closed geodesics is the identity. We describe all transparent SU(2)-connections and we show that they can…
We present interpretation of known results in the theory of discrete asymptotic and discrete conjugate nets from the "discretization by B\"{a}cklund transformations" point of view. We collect both classical formulas of XIXth century…

We propose a unified definition for discrete analogues of constant mean curvature surfaces in spaces of constant curvature as a special case of discrete special isothermic nets. B\"acklund transformations and Lawson's correspondence are…
Backlund transformations are used to search for solutions, particularly soliton solutions, of non-linear differential equations. In this paper we present an invariant geometrical theory of Backlund transformations for second order evolution…
We prove that a generic $4$-dimensional integrable rolling distribution of contact elements with the symmetry of the tangency configuration (excluding developable seed and isotropic developable leaves) splits into an $1$-dimensional family…
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.
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…
We prove that for a generic $3$-dimensional integrable rolling distribution of contact elements (excluding developable seed and isotropic developable leaves) isometric correspondence of leaves of a general nature (independent of the shape…
We present a 2x2 Lax representation for discrete circular nets of constant negative Gau{\ss} curvature. It is tightly linked to the 4D consistency of the Lax representation of discrete K-nets (in asymptotic line parametrization). The…
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…
We discuss basic properties of the Baecklund transformations for the classical string in AdS space in the context of the null-surface perturbation theory. We explain the relation between the Baecklund transformations and the energy shift of…
In this paper we study G-surfaces, a rather unknown surface class originally defined by Calapso, and show that the coordinate surfaces of a Guichard net are G-surfaces. Based on this observation, we present distinguished Combescure…
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…
The geometry of an admissible B\"acklund transformation for an exterior differential system is described by an admissible Cartan connection for a geometric structure on a tower with infinite--dimensional skeleton which is the universal…
It is shown how pseudoconstants of the Liouville-type equations can be exploited as a tool for construction of the B\"acklund transformations. Several new examples of such transformations are found. In particular we obtained the B\"acklund…
The stochastic addition of either vertices or connections in a network leads to the observation of the percolation transition, a structural change with the appearance of a connected component encompassing a finite fraction of the system.…
The Backlund transformation for pseudospherical surfaces, which is equivalent to that of the sine-Gordon equation, can be restricted to give a transformation on space curves that preserves constant torsion. We study its effects on closed…
In this note we consider a few interesting properties of discrete connections on principal bundles when the structure group of the bundle is an abelian Lie group. In particular, we show that the discrete connection form and its curvature…
