An Introduction to Twistor Theory as Seen from Null Infinity
Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics (ESI) via YouTube
Overview
Explore classical results in twistor theory, the Penrose transform, and the non-linear graviton theorem in this comprehensive lecture from the Thematic Programme on "Carrollian Physics and Holography." Delve into their interactions and descriptions through the lens of null infinity geometry, with a special focus on Newman's H-space. Gain insights into Adamo-Mason-Sharma's twistor sigma model and its relationship with Lw-infinity symmetries. Use this presentation as a springboard to navigate recent literature in the field, making it an ideal starting point for those looking to deepen their understanding of twistor theory and its applications in modern physics.
