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…
There are two main types of rank 2 B\"acklund transformations relating a pair of hyperbolic Monge-Amp\`ere systems, which we call Type $\mathscr{A}$ and Type $\mathscr{B}$. For Type $\mathscr{A}$, we completely determine a subclass whose…
We provide superposition formulae for the six cases of B\"acklund transformations corresponding to space-like and time-like surfaces in the 3-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space. In each case, the surfaces have constant negative or positive…
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…
This article is concerned with the question: For which pairs of hyperbolic Euler-Lagrange systems in the plane does there exist a rank-$1$ B\"acklund transformation relating them? We express some obstructions to such existence in terms of…
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 present a geometric construction of Backlund transformations and discretizations for a large class of algebraic completely integrable systems. To be more precise, we construct families of Backlund transformations, which are naturally…
A Backlund transformation between two hyperbolic Monge-Ampere systems may be described as a certain type of exterior differential system on a 6-dimensional manifold B. The transformation is homogeneous if the group of symmetries of the…
In this paper, from the algebraic reductions from the Lie algebra $gl(n,\mathbb C)$ to its commutative subalgebra $Z_n$, we construct the general $Z_n$-Sine-Gordon and $Z_n$-Sinh-Gordon systems which contain many multi-component Sine-Gordon…

We begin an exploration of parametric Backlund transformations for hyperbolic Monge-Ampere systems. We compute invariants for such transformations and explore the behavior of four examples regarding their invariants, symmetries, and…
Starting from nonlocal symmetries related to B\"acklund transformation (BT), many interesting results can be obtained. Taking the well known potential KdV (pKdV) equation as an example, a new type of nonlocal symmetry in elegant and compact…
We establish the pluri-Lagrangian structure for families of B\"acklund transformations of relativistic Toda-type systems. The key idea is a novel embedding of these discrete-time (one-dimensional) systems into certain two-dimensional…
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…
We study the elliptic sinh-Gordon and sine-Gordon equations on the real plane and we introduce new families of solutions. We use a Backlund transformation that connects the elliptic versions of sinh-Gordon and sine-Gordon equations. As an…
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…
We consider the algebraic setting of classical defects in discrete and continuous integrable theories. We derive the "equations of motion" on the defect point via the space-like and time-like description. We then exploit the structural…
