Two–twistor Description of Membrane
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe D = 4 twistorial membrane in terms of two twistorial three–dimensional world volume fields. We start with the D–dimensional p–brane generalizations of two phase space string formulations: due to Siegel, with two vectorial fourmomenta, and the formulation with tensorial momenta. Further we consider tensionful membrane case in D = 4. By using the membrane generalization of Cartan–Penrose formula we express the fourmomenta by spinorial fields and obtain the intermediate spinor–space-time formulation. Further by expressing the worldvolume dreibein and the membrane space-time coordinate fields in terms of two twistor fields one obtains the purely twistorial formulation. It appears that the action is generated by a geometric three–form on two–twistor space. Finally we comment on higher–dimensional (D > 4) twistorial p–brane models and their superextensions.

The Mini-Superambitwistor Space
The essential point underlying twistor string theory [1] is the marriage of Calabi-Yau and twistor geometry in the space CP . This complex projective space is a Calabi-Yau supermanifold and simultaneously the supertwistor space of the complexified, compactified Minkowski space. The interest in a twistorial string theory is related to the fact that twistor geometry allows for a very convenient d...
متن کاملTwistor spaces for HKT manifolds
We construct the twistor space associated with an HKT manifold, that is, a hyper-Kähler manifold with torsion, a type of geometry that arises as the target space geometry in two-dimensional sigma models with (4,0) supersymmetry. We show that this twistor space has a natural complex structure and is a holomorphic fibre bundle over the complex projective line with fibre the associated HKT manifol...
متن کاملThe Inverse Penrose Transform on Riemannian Twistor Spaces
With respect to the Dirac operator and the conformally invariant Laplacian, an explicit description of the inverse Penrose transform on Riemannian twistor spaces is given. A Dolbeault representative of cohomology on the twistor space is constructed from a solution of the field equation on the base manifold.
متن کاملDirectly Interacting Massless Particles - a Twistor Approach
Twistor phase spaces are used to provide a general description of the dynamics of a finite number of directly interacting massless spinning particles forming a closed relativistic massive and spinning system with an internal structure. A Poincaré invariant canonical quantization of the so obtained twistor phase space dynamics is performed. In November 1995 accepted for publication in JMP.
