We begin by considering several properties commonly (but not universally) possessed by B\"acklund transformations between hyperbolic Monge-Amp\`ere equations: wavelike nature of the underlying equations, preservation of independent…
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…
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…
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…
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 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…
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…
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 present a notion of symmetry for 1+1-dimensional integrable systems which is consistent with their group theoretic description and reproduces in special cases the known Baecklund transformation for the generalized Korteweg-deVries…
We study the contact geometry of scalar second order hyperbolic equations in the plane of generic type. Following a derivation of parametrized contact-invariants to distinguish Monge-Ampere (class 6-6), Goursat (class 6-7) and generic…
Treating an integrable quad-equation along with its two generalised symmetries as a compatible system allows one to construct an auto-B\"acklund transformation for solutions of the related NLS-type system. A fixed periodic reduction of the…
We give a B\"acklund transformation connecting a generic 2D dilaton gravity theory to a generally covariant free field theory. This transformation provides an explicit canonical transformation relating both theories.
We apply the method of B\"acklund transformations to generate a new hierarchy of exact solutions to the vacuum Einstein equations starting from the extreme Kerr near-horizon geometry. Solutions with extreme Kerr near-horizon asymptotics…
We apply Cartan's method of equivalence to find a B\"acklund autotransformation for the tangent covering of the universal hierarchy equation. The transformation provides a recursion operator for symmetries of this equation.
The construction of generalized Backlund transformation for the $A_n$ Affine Toda hierarchy is proposed in terms of gauge transformation acting on the zero curvature representation. Such construction is based upon the graded structure of…
We consider the hyperbolic generalization of Burgers equation with polynomial source term. The transformation of auto-B\"{a}cklund type was found. Application of the results is shown in the examples, where the pair of two stationary…
We treat the lattice sine-Gordon equation and two of its generalised symmetries as a compatible system. Elimination of shifts from the two symmetries of the lattice sine-Gordon equation yields an integrable NLS-type system. An…
We construct a two-parameter family of B\"acklund transformations for the trigonometric classical Gaudin magnet. The approach follows closely the one introduced by E.Sklyanin and V.Kuznetsov (1998,1999) in a number of seminal papers, and…
Using Cartan's equivalence method for point transformations we obtain from first principles the conformal geometry associated with third order ODEs and a special class of PDEs in two dimensions. We explicitly construct the null tetrads of a…
