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…
We study locally harmonic maps between a Riemann surface or Lorentz surface $M$ and a Riemann surface or Lorentz surface $N$. {All four cases are studied in a unified way}. All four cases are written using a unified formalism. Therefore…
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…
Harmonic maps from $\BR^2$ or one-connected domain ${\O}\subset \BR^2$ into $GL(m, \BC)$ and $U(m)$ are treated. The GBDT version of the B\"acklund-Darboux transformation is applied to the case of the harmonic maps. A new general formula on…
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…
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…
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…
We study the Dirichlet problem for harmonic maps between hyperbolic planes, under the assumption that the Euclidean harmonic extension of the boundary map is quasiconformal.
An existence result is shown for the asymptotic Dirichlet problem for harmonic maps from the product of the hyperbolic planes to the hyperbolic space, where the Dirichlet data is given on the distinguished boundary (the product of the…
Another connection of harmonic maps to gravity is presented. Using 1-soliton and anti-soliton solutions of the sine-Gordon equation, we construct a pair of harmonic maps that we express in terms of a particular dilaton field in…
Two sets of super Riccati equations are presented which result in two linear problems of super sine-Gordon equation. The linear problems are then shown to be related to each other by a super gauge transformation and to the super…
In this paper, we construct polynomial growth harmonic maps from once-punctured Riemann surfaces of any finite genus to any even-sided, regular, ideal polygon in the hyperbolic plane. We also establish their uniqueness within a class of…
We look at the supersymmetric generalization of harmonic maps into Lie groups, known to physicists as the chiral model. Explicit solutions to the equations are found and examined using Backlund transformations.
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 a B\"acklund transformation (a discrete symmetry transformation) for the self-duality equations for supersymmetric gauge theories in N-extended super-Minkowski space ${\cal M}^{4|4N}$ for an arbitrary semisimple gauge group. For…
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…
In this paper we establish B\"{a}cklund transformations between solutions of several cases of classical isotropic MHD and plasma equilibria and corresponding anisotropic equilibria. The transformations appear to be infinite-dimensional and…
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 construct the 1- and 2-point integrable maps (B\"acklund transformations) for the symmetric Lagrange top. We show that the Lagrange top has the same algebraic Poisson structure that belongs to the $sl(2)$ Gaudin magnet. The 2-point map…
We present a new vorticity-raising transformation for the second integrable complexification of the sine-Gordon equation on the plane. The new transformation is a product of four Schlesinger maps of the Painlev\'{e}-V to itself, and allows…
