Abstract

We prove that a generic $4$-dimensional integrable rolling distribution of contact elements with the symmetry of the tangency configuration (excluding developable seed and isotropic developable leaves) splits into an $1$-dimensional family of generic $3$-dimensional integrable rolling distributions of contact elements with the symmetry of the tangency configuration, thus introducing a new definition of the B\"{a}cklund transformation in the isometric deformation of surfaces.
