Twistors versus harmonics
نویسنده
چکیده
By lifting full Yang-Mills theory to R4 × S2 , Mason et al. obtained MHV vertices by gauge transformation. Their Lagrangian depended on long intricate twistor manipulations. Spinor S2 harmonics give a one page proof, eliminating all the CP3 apparatus.

A new type of supersymmetric twistors and higher spin chiral multiplets
A new type of supersymmetric twistors is proposed and they are called θ-twistors versus the supertwistors. The θ-twistor is a triple of spinors including the spinor superspace coordinate θ instead of the Grassmannian scalar in the supertwistor triple. The superspace of the θ-twistors is closed under the superconformal group transformations except the (super)conformal boosts. Using the θ-twistor...

متن کاملTwistorial Superparticle with Tensorial Central Charges
A twistorial formulation of the N = 1 D = 4 superparticle with tensorial central charges describing massive and massless cases in uniform manner is given. The twistors resolve energy-momentum vector whereas the tensorial central charges are written in term of spinor Lorentz harmonics. The model makes possible to describe states preserving all allowed fractions of target-space supersymmetry. The...
متن کاملTwistors, Cft and Holography
According to one of many equivalent definitions of twistors a (null) twistor is a null geodesic in Minkowski spacetime. Null geodesics can intersect at points (events). The idea of Penrose was to think of a spacetime point as a derived concept: points are obtained by considering the incidence of twistors. One needs two twistors to obtain a point. Twistor is thus a “square root” of a point. In t...
متن کاملThe Θ-twistor versus the Supertwistor
We introduce the θ-twistor which is a new supersymmetric generalization of the Penrose twistor and is also alternative to the supertwistor. The θ-twistor is a triple of spinors including the spinor θ extending the Penrose's double of spinors. Using the θ-twistors yields an infinite chain of massless higher spin chiral supermultiplets 1 2) generalizing the known scalar (0, 1 2) supermultiplet.
