The geometry of an admissible Backlund transformation for an exterior differential system is described by an admissible Cartan connection for a geometric structure on a tower with infinite--dimensional skeleton which is the universal prolongation of a $|1|$--graded semi-simple Lie algebra.

We construct Backlund 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 time-discretization of the system, inasmuch as they preserve both its Poisson structure and its invariants. Moreover, in some special cases we are able to show that these maps can be explicitly integrated in terms of the initial conditions and of the iteration time $n$. Encouraged by these partial results we make the conjecture that the maps are interpolated by a specific one-parameter family of hamiltonian flows, and present the corresponding solution. We enclose a few pictures where the orbits of the continuous and of the discrete flow are depicted.
Let $M$ be a smooth manifold with boundary $partial M$ and bounded geometry, $partial_D M subset partial M$ be an open and closed subset, $P$ be a second order differential operator on $M$, and $b$ be a first order differential operator on $partial M smallsetminus partial_D M$. We prove the regularity and well-posedness of the mixed Robin boundary value problem $$Pu = f mbox{ in } M, u = 0 mbox{ on } partial_D M, partial^P_ u u + bu = 0 mbox{ on } partial M setminus partial_D M$$ under some natural assumptions. Our operators act on sections of a vector bundle $E to M$ with bounded geometry. Our well-posedness result is in the Sobolev spaces $H^s(M; E)$, $s geq 0$. The main novelty of our results is that they are formulated on a non-compact manifold. We include also some extensions of our main result in different directions. First, the finite width assumption is required for the Poincar{e} inequality on manifolds with bounded geometry, a result for which we give a new, more general proof. Second, we consider also the case when we have a decomposition of the vector bundle $E$ (instead of a decomposition of the boundary). Third, we also consider operators with non-smooth coefficients, but, in this case, we need to limit the range of $s$. Finally, we also consider the case of uniformly strongly elliptic operators. In this case, we introduce a emph{uniform Agmon condition} and show that it is equivalent to the Gaa rding inequality. This extends an important result of Agmon (1958).
The Backlund Transform, first developed in the context of differential geometry, has been classically used to obtain multi-soliton states in completely integrable infinite dimensional dynamical systems. It has recently been used to study the stability of these special solutions. We offer here a dynamical perspective on the Backlund Transform, prove an abstract orbital stability theorem, and demonstrate its utility by applying it to the sine-Gordon equation and the Toda lattice.
In this work we give a mechanical (Hamiltonian) interpretation of the so called spectrality property introduced by Sklyanin and Kuznetsov in the context of Backlund transformations (BTs) for finite dimensional integrable systems. The property turns out to be deeply connected with the Hamilton-Jacobi separation of variables and can lead to the explicit integration of the underlying model through the expression of the BTs. Once such construction is given, it is shown, in a simple example, that it is possible to interpret the Baxter Q operator defining the quantum BTs us the Greens function, or propagator, of the time dependent Schrodinger equation for the interpolating Hamiltonian.
