Twistor Geometry and Field Theory

by Raymond O. Wells Jr., R.S. Ward, Raymond O. Wells Jr

This book deals with the twistor treatment of certain linear and non-linear partial differential equations in mathematical physics. The description in terms of twistors involves algebraic and differential geometry, and several complex variables, and results in a different kind of setting that gives a new perspective on the properties of space-time and field theories. The book is designed to be used by mathematicians and physicists and so the authors...
