Title: From the Origins of Twistor Theory to Bi-Twistors and Curved Space-Times
Speaker: Professor Roger Penrose (University of Oxford)
Date: 11th Sep 2024 - 15:30 to 16:30
Event: (TWTW01) Twistors in Geometry & Physics
Twistor theory was originated in late 1963 as a geometric approach to the quantum field theoretic requirement of splitting the positive-frequency modes from the negative frequency ones. This was addressed through translating the geometry of Minkowski space into the projective geometry CP3, referred to as the projective twistor space PT, whose division into two halves PT+ and PT– geometrically described the required positive/negative frequency splitting...
