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…

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…

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 prove that second-order hyperbolic Monge-Ampere equations for one function of two variables are connected to the wave equation by a Backlund transformation if and only if they are integrable by the method of Darboux at second order. One…

For hyperbolic Monge-Amp\`ere systems, a well-known solution of the equivalence problem yields two invariant tensors, ${S}_1$ and ${S}_2$, defined on the underlying $5$-manifold, where ${S}_2=0$ characterizes systems that are…

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…

We approach the construction of Backlund transformations for Darboux integrable hyperbolic partial differential equations in the plane through the reduction of exterior differential systems. For example it is shown that all the Backlund…

We consider a canonical transformation of parabolic coordinates on the plain and suppose that this transformation together with some additional relations may be considered as a counterpart of the auto and hetero B\"acklund transformations…

In this paper basic differential invariants of generic hyperbolic Monge--Amp\`ere equations with respect to contact transformations are constructed and the equivalence problem for these equations is solved.

We give a new mechanism for constructing Backlund transformations by using symmetry reduction of differential systems. We then characterize a family of Backlund transformations between Darboux integrable systems where the Backlund…

In classical mechanics well-known cryptographic algorithms and protocols can be very useful for construction canonical transformations preserving form of Hamiltonians. We consider application of a standard generic divisor doubling for…

Linear and nonlinear Hodge-like systems for 1-forms are studied, with an assumption equivalent to complete integrability substituted for the requirement of closure under exterior differentiation. The systems are placed in a variational…

An infinite linearly ordered set (S,<=) is called doubly homogeneous if its automorphism group A(S) acts 2-transitively on it. We show that any group G arises as outer automorphism group G cong Out(A(S)) of the automorphism group A(S), for…

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…

In this work we show that, under certain conditions, parametric Backlund transformations (BTs) for a finite dimensional integrable system can be interpreted as solutions to the equations of motion defined by an associated non-autonomous…

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 survey work on the topology of the space AH(M) of all (marked) hyperbolic 3-manifolds homotopy equivalent to a fixed compact 3-manifold M with boundary. The interior of AH(M) is quite well-understood, but the topology of the entire space…
