We present a geometric framework for discrete classical field theories, where fields are modeled as "morphisms" defined on a discrete grid in the base space, and take values in a Lie groupoid. We describe the basic geometric setup and…
We illustrate how to compute asymptotic interactions between discrete solitary waves of dispersive equations, using the approach proposed by Manton [Nucl. Phys. B 150, 397 (1979)]. We also discuss the complications arising due to…
We construct B\"acklund transformations (BTs) for the Kirchhoff top by taking advantage of the common algebraic Poisson structure between this system and the $sl(2)$ trigonometric Gaudin model. Our BTs are integrable maps providing an exact…

Binary symmetry constraints are applied to constructing B\"acklund transformations of soliton systems, both continuous and discrete. Construction of solutions to soliton systems is split into finding solutions to lower-dimensional Liouville…
Differential calculus on discrete sets is developed in the spirit of noncommutative geometry. Any differential algebra on a discrete set can be regarded as a `reduction' of the `universal differential algebra' and this allows a systematic…
A discretisation of differential geometry using the Whitney forms of algebraic topology is consistently extended via the introduction of a pairing on the space of chains. This pairing of chains enables us to give a definition of the…
We obtain many objects of discrete differential geometry as reductions of skew parallelogram nets, a system of lattice equations that may be formulated for any unit associative algebra. The Lax representation is linear in the spectral…
