Metaphors for the twistor theory of the future.

- đ Venue: Seminar Room 2, Newton Institute
Abstract
These talks will limn twistor theory: a theory that will work in curved spacetimes and in arbitrary dimensions, even infinite, but stick to the basic principles. Tools to focus on will be the analysis of massless particles in the style of David Mumford and Roger Penrose and the structure of null geodesics after Ted Newman and Ray Sachs, using the language of the limits of Roger Penrose.
Series This talk is part of the Isaac Newton Institute Seminar Series series.
