The celestial chiral algebra of self-dual gravity on Eguchi-Hanson space
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 We consider the twistor description of classical self-dual Einstein gravity in the presence of a defect operator wrapping a certain ℂℙ1. The backreaction of this defect deforms the flat twistor space to that of Eguchi-Hanson space.

Twistor space, Minkowski space and the conformal group [PDF]
, 1983 It is shown that the conformal group of compactified Minkowski space is isomorphic to a group of rays of semilinear transformations of twistor space.

A twistorial description of the IKKT-matrix model
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We consider the fuzzy 4-sphere S N 4 $$ {S}_N^4 $$ as a background in the IKKT matrix model, and explore the relation between S N 4 $$ {S}_N^4 $$ and fuzzy twistor space in the semi-classical limit.

Twistor spaces for HKT manifolds [PDF]
, 1996 We construct the twistor space associated with an HKT manifold, that is, a hyper-K\"ahler manifold with torsion, a type of geometry that arises as the target space geometry in two-dimensional sigma models with (4,0) supersymmetry.

Twistor constructions for higher-spin extensions of (self-dual) Yang-Mills
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2021 We present the inverse Penrose transform (the map from spacetime to twistor space) for self-dual Yang-Mills (SDYM) and its higher-spin extensions on a flat background.

Alternative formulations of the twistor double copy
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 The classical double copy relating exact solutions of biadjoint scalar, gauge and gravity theories continues to receive widespread attention. Recently, a derivation of the exact classical double copy was presented, using ideas from twistor theory, in ...

S-duality in twistor space [PDF]
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2012 Abstract In type IIB string compactifications on a Calabi-Yau threefold, the hypermultiplet moduli space $ {\mathcal{M}_H} $ must carry an isometric action of the modular group SL(2, $ \mathbb{Z} $ ), inherited from the S-duality symmetry of type IIB string theory ...

International Journal of Mathematics and Mathematical Sciences, 1986 We describe briefly the basic ideas and results of the twistor theory. The main points: twistor representation of Minkowsky space, Penrose correspondence and its geometrical properties, twistor interpretation of linear massless fields, Yang-Mills fields (

The momentum amplituhedron of SYM and ABJM from twistor-string maps
Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 We study remarkable connections between twistor-string formulas for tree amplitudes in N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 SYM and N $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 6 ABJM, and the corresponding momentum amplituhedron in the kinematic space of D = 4 and D = 3, respectively ...

Twistor spaces for hyperkähler implosions
Journal of Differential Geometry, 2014 We study the geometry of the twistor space of the universal hyperkaehler implosion Q for SU(n). Using the description of Q as a hyperkaehler quiver variety, we construct a holomorphic map from the twistor space Z_Q of Q to a complex vector bundle over P^1, and an associated map of Q to the affine space R of the bundle's holomorphic sections.
