A simple version of the Segal-Wilson map from the SL(2,C) loop group to a class of solutions of the KdV hierarchy is given, clarifying certain aspects of this map. It is explained how the known symmetries, including Backlund…
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…
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…
In the article arXiv:1108.5443 we established a general group-theoretical approach to the construction of B\"acklund transformations. We then showed how this construction can be applied to construct B\"acklund transformation between…
We consider a long--range homogeneous chain where the local variables are the generators of the direct sum of $N$ $\mathfrak{e}(3)$ interacting Lagrange tops. We call this classical integrable model rational ``Lagrange chain'' showing how…
For $N\ge 3$ there are $S_N$ and $D_N$ actions on the space of solutions of the first nontrivial equation in the $SL(N) MKdV hierarchy, generalizing the two $Z_2$ actions on the space of solutions of the standard MKdV equation. These…
We construct B\"acklund transformations (BT) for the Gelfand-Dickey hierarchy (GD$_n$-hierarchy) on the space of $n$-th order differential operators on the line. Suppose $L=\partial_x^n-\sum_{i=1}^{n-1}u_i\partial_x^{(i-1)}$ is a solution…
The $\hat B_n^{(1)}$-hierarchy is constructed from the standard splitting of the affine Kac-Moody algebra $\hat B_n^{(1)}$, the Drinfeld-Sokolov $\hat B_n^{(1)}$-KdV hierarchy is obtained by pushing down the $\hat B_n^{(1)}$-flows along…
Uhlenbeck proved that a set of simple elements generates the group of rational loops in GL(n,C) that satisfy the U(n)-reality condition. For an arbitrary complex reductive group, a choice of representation defines a notion of rationality…
In this paper, we show how factorisation with respect to nonlocal pseudosymmetries allows one to obtain B\"acklund transformations, interpreted as nonlocal $\mathcal{C}$-morphisms of differential equations. According to this approach, which…
We characterize Bianchi-B\"{a}cklund transformations of surfaces of positive constant Gauss curvature in terms of dressing actions of the simplest type on the space of harmonic maps.
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…
We reconsider the construction of solitons by dressing transformations in the sine-Gordon model. We show that the $N$-soliton solutions are in the orbit of the vacuum, and we identify the elements in the dressing group which allow us to…
We present a geometric construction of Backlund transformations and discretizations for a large class of algebraic completely integrable systems. To be more precise, we construct families of Backlund transformations, which are naturally…
For $\Cc$ a $G$-category, we give a condition on a diagram of simplicial sets indexed on $\Cc$ that allows us to define a natural $G$-action on its homotopy colimit, and in some other simplicial sets and categories defined in terms of the…
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 actions of quantum groups on lattice spin systems. We show that if an action of a quantum group respects the local structure of a lattice system, it has to be an ordinary group. Even allowing weakly delocalized (quasi-local)…
From an algebraic construction of the mKdV hierarchy we observe that the space component of the Lax operator play a role of an universal algebraic object. This fact induces the universality of a gauge transformation that relates two field…
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…
