We discuss chiral zero-rest-mass field equations on six-dimensional space-time from a twistorial point of view. Specifically, we present a detailed cohomological analysis, develop both Penrose and Penrose-Ward transforms, and analyse the corresponding contour integral formulae. We also give twistor space action principles. We then dimensionally reduce the twistor space of six-dimensional space-time to obtain twistor formulations of various theories in lower dimensions. Besides well-known…

We consider the application of twistor theory to five-dimensional anti-de Sitter space. The twistor space of AdS5 is the same as the ambitwistor space of the fourdimensional conformal boundary; the
Six-Dimensional Superconformal Field Theories from Principal 3-Bundles over Twistor Space
• Mathematics

We construct manifestly superconformal field theories in six dimensions which contain a non-Abelian tensor multiplet. In particular, we show how principal 3-bundles over a suitable twistor space

Six-dimensional (1,0) superconformal models and higher gauge theory

We analyze the gauge structure of a recently proposed superconformal field theory in six dimensions. We find that this structure amounts to a weak Courant-Dorfman algebra, which, in turn, can be
The supersymmetric Penrose transform in six dimensions

We give a supersymmetric extension to the six-dimensional Penrose transform and give an integral formula for the on-shell (0, 2) supermultiplet. The relationship between super fields on space-time
Non-Abelian Tensor Multiplet Equations from Twistor Space
• Mathematics

We establish a Penrose–Ward transform yielding a bijection between holomorphic principal 2-bundles over a twistor space and non-Abelian self-dual tensor fields on six-dimensional flat space-time.
Lectures on twistor theory
Broadly speaking, twistor theory is a framework for encoding physical information on space-time as geometric data on a complex projective space, known as a twistor space. The relationship between
Aspects of twistors and tractors in field theory
This thesis is divided into three sections. The first begins with a review of the Fefferman-Graham embedding space construction and the closely-related tractor calculus, which provides a simple way
