  2. Twistor theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twistor_theory

    In theoretical physics, twistor theory was proposed by Roger Penrose in 1967 [1] as a possible path [2] to quantum gravity and has evolved into a widely studied branch of theoretical and mathematical physics. Penrose's idea was that twistor space should be the basic arena for physics from which space-time itself should emerge.

  3. Twistor space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twistor_space

    In mathematics and theoretical physics (especially twistor theory), twistor space is the complex vector space of solutions of the twistor equation ′ =.It was described in the 1960s by Roger Penrose and Malcolm MacCallum. [1]

  4. Twistor string theory - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twistor_string_theory

    Twistor string theory is an equivalence between N = 4 supersymmetric Yang–Mills theory and the perturbative topological B model string theory in twistor space. [1] It was initially proposed by Edward Witten in 2003. Twistor theory was introduced by Roger Penrose from the 1960s as a new approach to the unification of quantum theory with gravity.

  5. Twistor correspondence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twistor_correspondence

    In mathematical physics, the twistor correspondence (also known as Penrose–Ward correspondence) is a bijection between instantons on complexified Minkowski space and holomorphic vector bundles on twistor space, which as a complex manifold is , or complex projective 3-space.

    These versions are known as type I, type IIA, type IIB, and the two flavors of heterotic string theory (SO(32) and E 8 ×E 8). The thinking was that of these five candidate theories, only one was the actual correct theory of everything, and that theory was the one whose low-energy limit matched the physics observed in our world today. [30]
