Twistor Cosmology and Quantum Space-Time [PDF]
The purpose of this paper is to present a model of a quantum space-time in which the global symmetries of space-time are unified in a coherent manner with the internal symmetries associated with the state space of quantum-mechanics. If we take into account the fact that these distinct families of symmetries should in some sense merge and become ...

Toll‐like receptors (TLRs) are important in the innate immune system. This study explores the zinc‐binding ability of the TLR2 TIR domain (TLR2TIR). We found that TLR2TIR binds zinc with nanomolar affinity through its cysteine residues. Two of them, C673 and C713, are vital for receptor activation, indicating that zinc may play a role in initiating ...

Twistors, the ASD Yang-Mills equations and 4d Chern-Simons theory
We show that the approaches to integrable systems via 4d Chern-Simons theory and via symmetry reductions of the anti-self-dual Yang-Mills equations are closely related, at least classically.

MHV diagrams in twistor space and the twistor action
MHV diagrams give an efficient Feynman diagram-like formalism for calculating gauge theory scattering amplitudes on momentum space. Although they arise as the Feynman diagrams from an action on twistor space in an axial gauge, the main ingredients were previously expressed only in momentum space and momentum twistor space.

Twistors and 3-symmetric spaces [PDF]
We describe complex twistor spaces over inner 3-symmetric spaces $G/H$, such that $H$ acts transitively on the fibre. Like in the symmetric case, these are flag manifolds $G/K$ where $K$ is the centralizer of a torus in $G$. Moreover, they carry an almost complex structure defined using the horizontal distribution of the normal connection on $G/H ...

Twistor relative locality [PDF]
We present a version of relative locality based on the geometry of twistor space. This can also be thought of as a new kind of deformation of twistor theory based on the construction of a bundle of twistor spaces over momentum space.

The twistor theory of Whitham hierarchy
We have established a 1-1 correspondence between a solution of the universal Whitham hierarchy and a twistor space. The twistor space consists of a complex surface and a family of complex curves together with a meromorphic 2-form.

Higher-Dimensional Twistor Transforms using Pure Spinors [PDF]
Hughston has shown that projective pure spinors can be used to construct massless solutions in higher dimensions, generalizing the four-dimensional twistor transform of Penrose. In any even (Euclidean) dimension d=2n, projective pure spinors parameterize

When realized as inserts in high‐pressure die casting, aluminum cooling channels for electric powertrain components and similar applications typically require a stabilizing filler to survive the process. The present study investigates relinquishing this filler using additively manufactured inserts promising performance improvements.

Spinorial higher-spin gauge theory from IKKT model in Euclidean and Minkowski signatures
We explore the semi-classical relation between the fuzzy 4-hyperboloid H N 4 $$ {H}_N^4 $$ and non-compact quantized twistor space ℙ N 1 , 2 $$ {\mathbb{P}}_N^{1,2} $$ at large N.
