We introduce a class of ${\mathbb{Z}}_N$ graded discrete Lax pairs, with $N\times N$ matrices, linear in the spectral parameter. We give a classification scheme for such Lax pairs and the associated discrete integrable systems. We present…
A discrete nonlinear system is analysed in case of open chain boundary conditions at the ends. It is shown that the integrability of the system remains intact, by obtaining a modified set of Lax equations which automatically take care of…
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…

General Lagrangian theory of discrete one-dimensional integrable systems is illustrated by a detailed study of B\"acklund transformations for Toda-type systems. Commutativity of B\"acklund transformations is shown to be equivalent to…
We consider various 2D lattice equations and their integrability, from the point of view of 3D consistency, Lax pairs and B\"acklund transformations. We show that these concepts, which are associated with integrability, are not strictly…
We construct the Darboux transformation with Dihedral reduction group for the 2-dimensional generalisation of the periodic Volterra lattice. The resulting Backlund transformation can be viewed as a nonevolutionary integrable differential…

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…
