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 use algebraic Backlund transformations (BTs) to construct explicit solutions of the modified 2+1 chiral model from $T^2\times R$ to SU(n), where $T^2$ is a 2-torus. Algebraic BTs are parameterized by $z\in C$ (poles) and holomorphic maps…
The Ward equation, also called the modified 2+1 chiral model, is obtained by a dimension reduction and a gauge fixing from the self-dual Yang-Mills field equation on $R^{2,2}$. It has a Lax pair and is an integrable system. Ward constructed…
From an algebraic construction of the mKdV hierarchy we observe that the space component of the Lax operator play a role of an universal algebraic object. This fact induces the universality of a gauge transformation that relates two field…
