X Abstract

In these lectures I will discuss the following topics: <br />(1) Twistors in 4 flat dimensions: Massless particles; constrained phase space (x,p) versus twistors; Physical states in twistor space. <br />(2) Introduction to 2T-physics and derivation of 1T-physics holographs and twistors: Emergent spacetimes & dynamics, holography, duality; Sp(2,R) gauge symmetry, constraints, solutions and (d,2); Global symmetry, quantization and the SO(d,2) singleton. <br />(3) Twistors for particle dynamics in d dimensions, particles with mass, relativistic, non-relativistic, in curved spaces, with interactions. <br />(4)Supersymmetric 2T-physics, gauge symmetries & twistor gauge: Coupling (X,P,g), gauge symmetries, global symmetries; Covariant quantization, constrained generators & representations of G_(super); Twistor gauge, supertwistors dual to super phase space, examples in d=4,6,10,11. <br />(5) Supertwistors and some field theory spectra in d=4,6: Super Yang-Mills d=4, N=4; Supergravity d=4, N=8; Self-dual tensor supermultiplet and conformal theory in d=6. <br />(6) Twistor superstrings: d+2 view of twistor superstring in d=4; Worldsheet anomalies and quantization of twistor superstring; Open problems.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
