报告简介:
Twistor theory was originally proposed by Roger Penrose as a new geometric framework for physics that aims to unify general relativity and quantum mechanics. In the twistor approach, space–time is secondary with events being derived objects that correspond to compact holomorphic curves in a complex three–fold, the twistor space. The subject had many unexpected spin-offs in pure and applied mathematics.This mini course will provide an elementary introduction to twistor theory leading to applications of twistor methods to integrable systems.
