  1. For both the cubic Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation (NLS) as well as the modified Korteweg-de Vries (mKdV) equation in one space dimension we consider the set of N--soliton states, and their associated multisoliton solutions. We prove that (i) this set is a uniformly smooth manifold, and (ii) the$$\mathbf {M}_{N}$$ M N states are uniformly stable in H^s for each s>-1/2. One main tool in our analysis is an iterated Bäcklund transform, which allows us to nonlinearly add a multisoliton to an existing soliton free state (the soliton addition map) or alternatively to remove a multisoliton from a multisoliton state (the soliton removal map). The properties and the regularity of these maps are extensively studied.
