Abstract: We use algebraic Backlund transformations (BTs) to construct explicit solutions of the modified 2+1 chiral model from

T^{2} i m e s R

to SU(n), where

T^{2}

is a 2-torus. Algebraic BTs are parameterized by

z i n C

(poles) and holomorphic maps

p i

from

T^{2}

to Gr

(k, C^{n})

. We apply B"acklund transformations with carefully chosen poles and

p i

's to construct infinitely many solutions of the 2+1 chiral model that are (i) doubly periodic in space variables and periodic in time, i.e., triply periodic, (ii) homoclinic in the sense that the solution

u

has the same stationary limit

u_{0}

as

t o p m i n f t y

and is tangent to a stable linear mode of

u_{0}

as

t o i n f t y

and is tangent to an unstable mode of

u_{0}

as

t o - i n f t y

.
