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…
Elementary, one- and two-point, Backlund transformations are constructed for the generic case of the sl(2) Gaudin magnet. The spectrality property is used to construct these explicitly given, Poisson integrable maps which are…
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…
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…
A two-parameters family of Backlund transformations for the classical elliptic Gaudin model is constructed. The maps are explicit, symplectic, preserve the same integrals as for the continuous flows and are a time discretization of each of…
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…
We consider a hierarchy of classical Liouville completely integrable models sharing the same (linear) $r$--matrix structure obtained through an $N$--th jet--extension of $\mathfrak{su}(2)$ rational Gaudin models. The main goal of the…
The first part of the present paper is devoted to a systematic construction of continuous-time finite-dimensional integrable systems arising from the rational su(2) Gaudin model through certain contraction procedures. In the second part, we…
A heavy top with a fixed point and a rigid body in an ideal fluid are important examples of Hamiltonian systems on a dual to the semidirect product Lie algebra $e(n)=so(n)\ltimes\mathbb R^n$. We give a Lagrangian derivation of the…
Recently, Lobb and Nijhoff initiated the study of variational (Lagrangian) structure of discrete integrable systems from the perspective of multi-dimensional consistency. In the present work, we follow this line of research and develop a…
We explain how to apply techniques from integrable systems to construct $2k$-soliton homoclinic wave maps from the periodic Minkowski space $S^1\times R^1$ to a compact Lie group, and more generally to a compact symmetric space. We give a…
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 show that the $m$-dimensional Euler--Manakov top on $so^*(m)$ can be represented as a Poisson reduction of an integrable Hamiltonian system on a symplectic extended Stiefel variety $\bar{\cal V}(k,m)$, and present its Lax representation…
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…
Isospectral flows are abundant in mathematical physics; the rigid body, the the Toda lattice, the Brockett flow, the Heisenberg spin chain, and point vortex dynamics, to mention but a few. Their connection on the one hand with integrable…
The integrable system is introduced based on the Poisson $ rs $-matrix structure. This is a generalization of the Gaudin magnet, and in SL(2) case isomorphic to the generalized Neumann model. The separation of variables is discussed for…
We present interpretation of known results in the theory of discrete asymptotic and discrete conjugate nets from the "discretization by B\"{a}cklund transformations" point of view. We collect both classical formulas of XIXth century…
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 consider integrable systems that are connected with orthogonal separation of variables in complex Riemannian spaces of constant curvature. An isomorphism with the hyperbolic Gaudin magnet, previously pointed out by one of us, extends to…
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…
