Some Fresh Ideas about Twistorialization of TGD

Matti Pitkänen

Abstract


The article by Tim Adamo titled "Twistor actions for gauge theory and gravity" (arXiv.org: 1308.2820) considers the formulation of N= 4 SUSY gauge theory directly in twistor space instead of Minkowski space. The author is able to deduce MHV formalism, tree level amplitudes and planar loop amplitudes from action in twistor space. Also local operators and null polygonal Wilson loops can be expressed twistorially. This approach is applied also to general relativity: one of the challenges is to deduce MHV amplitudes for Einstein gravity.  The reading of the article inspired a fresh look on twistors and a possible answer to several questions.
