Twistor theory has become a diverse subject as it has spread from its origins in theoretical physics to applications in pure mathematics. This 1990 collection of review articles covers the considerable progress made in a wide range of applications such as relativity, integrable systems, differential and integral geometry and representation theory. The articles explore the wealth of geometric ideas which provide the unifying themes in twistor theory, from Penrose's quasi-local mass construction in relativity, to the study of conformally invariant differential operators, using techniques of representation theory.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
Twistor 理論已成為一個多樣化的主題，因為它從理論物理的起源擴展到純數學的應用。這本 1990 年的評論文章集涵蓋了在相對論、可積系統、微分與積分幾何以及表示理論等廣泛應用中取得的重大進展。這些文章探討了豐富的幾何思想，這些思想提供了 twistor 理論中的統一主題，從 Penrose 在相對論中的準局部質量構造，到使用表示理論技術研究共形不變微分算子。
