This work is dedicated to the study of the Moebius invariant class of constrained Willmore surfaces and its symmetries. We define a spectral deformation by the action of a loop of flat metric connections; Baecklund transformations, by…
In the first part of the paper we present the dressing method which generates multi-soliton solutions to integrable systems of nonlinear partial differential equations. We compare the approach of Neugebauer with that of Zakharov, Shabat and…
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.
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 give an account of the classical and integrable geometry of isothermic surfaces in arbitrary co-dimension. We show that the classical transformation theory of Darboux, Bianchi and Calapso goes through unchanged in arbitrary co-dimension…

We propose a method for construction of Darboux transformations, which is a new development of the dressing method for Lax operators invariant under a reduction group. We apply the method to the vector sine-Gordon equation and derive its…
Isothermic surfaces are surfaces which allow a conformal curvature line parametrisation. They form an integrable system, and Darboux transforms of isothermic surfaces obey Bianchi permutability: for two distinct spectral parameters the…
The dressing chain is derived by applying Darboux transformations to the spectral problem of the Korteweg-de Vries (KdV) equation. It is also an auto-B\"acklund transformation for the modified KdV equation. We show that by applying Darboux…
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…
A comparison is made between bispectral systems and dual isomonodromic deformation equations. A number of examples are given, showing how bispectral systems may be embedded into isomonodromic ones. Sufficiency conditions are given for the…
Dressing technique is used to construct commuting Lax operators which provide an integrable (canonical) structure behind Witten--Dijkgraaf--Verlinde--Verlinde equations. The commuting flows are related to the isomonodromic flows. Examples…
We study an analogue of the classical Bianchi-Darboux transformation for L-isothermic surfaces in Laguerre geometry, the Bianchi-Darboux transformation. We show how to construct the Bianchi-Darboux transforms of an L-isothermic surface by…
We define a transformation on harmonic maps from a Riemann surface into the 2-sphere which depends on a complex parameter, the so-called mu-Darboux transformation. In the case when the harmonic map N is the Gauss map of a constant mean…
Willmore surfaces are the extremals of the Willmore functional (possibly under a constraint on the conformal structure). With the characterization of Willmore surfaces by the (possibly perturbed) harmonicity of the mean curvature sphere…
We present a new approach to the construction of the Darboux matrix. This is a generalization of the recently formulated method based on the assumption that the square of the Darboux matrix vanishes for some values of the spectral…
We discuss integrability of normal field equations of arbitrary parametrised Bianchi surfaces. A novel geometric definition of Bianchi surfaces is presented as well as B\"acklund transformation for the normal field equations in arbitrary…
We define a hierarchy of special classes of constrained Willmore surfaces by means of the existence of a polynomial conserved quantity of some type, filtered by an integer. Type 1 with parallel top term characterises parallel mean curvature…
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 construct a Backlund transformation for the trigonometric classical Gaudin magnet starting from the Lax representation of the model. The Darboux dressing matrix obtained depends just on one set of variables because of the so-called…
