 Bäcklund generating current for sine-Gordon conserved charges

Write the transformed angular field as $v=u+2d$. The Sine-Gordon Bäcklund transformation gives $\sin d=a(u_{\xi }+d_{\xi })$, determining $d$ as a formal local derivative expansion in $a$. The displayed exact current identity yields a conservation law at each order. Formal convergence is unnecessary because each coefficient obeys an exact identity on solutions.
