SUMMARY:From conformal to Einstein gravity on twistor space - Tim Adamo (D
 AMTP)
DTSTART:20131010T120000Z
DTEND:20131010T130000Z
UID:TALK47633@talks.cam.ac.uk
CONTACT:Dr Dorigoni
DESCRIPTION:There have been numerous recent results in our understanding o
 f scattering amplitudes in gauge theory and gravity\, many of which have b
 een influenced by something called twistor theory.  This talk will explore
  how we can study general relativity using twistor action functionals by e
 xploiting the embedding of Einstein gravity inside conformal gravity (a co
 nformally invariant theory with 4th-order equations of motion).  This has 
 implications for the study of "scattering amplitudes" in (anti-)de Sitter 
 space\, the existence of a MHV formalism for gravity\, and several other (
 hopefully) exciting arenas.
