Generalized isothermic lattices

Abstract: Abstract. We study multidimensional quadrilateral lattices satisfying simultaneously two integrable constraints: a quadratic constraint and the projective Moutard constraint. When the lattice is two dimensional and the quadric under consideration is the Möbius sphere one obtains, after the stereographic projection, the discrete isothermic surfaces defined by Bobenko and Pinkall by an algebraic constraint imposed on the (complex) cross-ratio of the circular lattice. We derive the analogous condition for our gen… Show more

“…Given integrable reduction of the 3D Moutard system (for example, the generalized isothermic lattice [15]), by restricting it to the quasiregular rhombic tiling one can obtain the corresponding integrable system on the triangular or on the honeycomb lattice. In particular, to obtain the constant angles circle patterns [5] one starts from further reduction of the generalized isothermic lattice.…”

“…At this point we may study the quadrilateral lattice maps and the corresponding discrete Darboux equations, their Darboux-type transformations and reductions; apart from above cited works see also [10,58,3,41,93] for geometric but also analytic (in the case of the field of complex or real numbers) tools to study such maps and corresponding solutions of the discrete Darboux system. We remark that the pioneering works of A. Bobenko and U. Pinkall and their collaborators on discrete isothermic surfaces [12,51,88] can be directly incorporated in the theory of multidimensional lattices of planar quadrilaterals [15,33]. Also discrete pseudospherical surfaces [11] together with more general discrete asymptotic surfaces [85] can be considered as reductions of quadrilateral lattices indirectly via the Plücker embedding [30]; see also other related works [57,13,87,75,43,91].…”

“…Roughly speaking, it is associated with the existence of a huge amount of internal or hidden symmetry and this fact explains quite well the predictability and regularity which characterize the integrable systems. Lattice equations (partial difference or P∆E's), which exhibit a higher complexity, attracted many studies in the last years [1][2][3][4][5]. The main progress was possible due to appearance of some efficient tools in proving integrability such as singularity confinement [6,7], "cube consistency" [8][9][10] and complexity growth [11][12][13][14].…”
