Non-trivial space–time topology leads to the possibility of twisted fields viewed as cross
sections of non-product vector bundles. For globally hyperbolic space–times twisted real …

The formalism of twistors the 'spinors' for the group O (2, 4) is employed to give a concise
expression for the solution of the zero rest-mass field equations, for each spin (s= 0, 1/2 …

The problem of obtaining a quantum description of the (real) KleinGordon system in a given
curved space-time is discussed. An algebraic approach is used. The*-algebra of quantum …

The authors relate the Hitchin correspondence (1982) between minitwistor spaces and
Einstein-Weyl spaces to the Penrose correspondence between twistor spaces and …

Twistor theory offers a new approach, starting with conformally-invariant concepts, to the
synthesis of quantum theory and relativity. Twistors for flat space-time are the SU (2, 2) …

A generalisation of the twistor construction of Einstein manifolds to the non-self-dual case is
given. Specifically, it is shown that a complex Riemannian manifold is conformally Einstein if …

This book deals with the twistor treatment of certain linear and non-linear partial differential
equations in mathematical physics. The description in terms of twistors involves algebraic …

The mathematical description of a dynamical field system involves two basic structures-a
base space M and a configuration space PHI. The base space is usually spacetime …

The formalism of twistors provides a new approach to the description of basic physics. The
points of Minkowski space-time are represented by 2-dimensional linear subspaces of a …

The properties of the ground state of a classical self-interacting twisted scalar field on a two-
dimensional Einstein cylinder are discussed. In particular there is a spontaneous breakdown …
