The C-(symmetric) quadrilateral lattice, its transformations and the algebro-geometric construction (Q967473)

The main goal of the paper is to give new pure geometric characterization of the symmetric quadrilateral lattice and of the corresponding reduction of the fundamental transformation. The authors study the geometric and algebraic properties of the CQL (C-quadrilateral lattice) reduction of the fundamental transformation. In particular, they show that the reduced transformation satisfies the Bianchi permutability principle. To make the theory of such lattices complete they apply the algebra-geometric techniques to construct large classes of the lattices together with corresponding solutions of the Darboux equation. In doing that the authors introduce the backward and the dual Baker-Akhiezer functions of the quadrilateral lattice.
