The development of twistor geometry for the description of fundamental physics - a podcast by Michael Haack

from 2023-11-08T16:44:20

:: ::

I will review the basic defi�nitions and ideas of the twistor program
for fundamental physics, as started by Roger Penrose around 1970. Iwill give particular attention to certain conformally invariant struc-
tures involving deformed helicities, relevant to scattering amplitudesfor massless �elds. These played a role in Penrose's earliest contour
integral expressions, but have more recently been rediscovered andgreatly developed as an approach to regularization.
