Synopsis
This book deals with the twistor treatment of certain linear and non-linear partial differential equations. The description in terms of twistors involves algebraic and differential geometry, algebraic topology and results in a new perspective on the properties of space and time. The authors firstly develop the mathematical background, then go on to discuss Yang-Mills fields and gravitational fields in classical language, and in the final part a number of field-theoretic problems are solved. Issued here for the first time in paperback, this self-contained volume should be of use to graduate mathematicians and physicists and research workers in theoretical physics, relativity, and cosmology.

Review
"... skillfully written. It will serve as a relatively accessible introduction to twistor theory for many readers who have not studied the subject before. Others will find it useful as a refresher and as a source of many valuable insights." Nature

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book deals with the twistor treatment of certain linear and non-linear partial differential equations in mathematical physics. The description in terms of twistors involves algebraic and differential geometry, and several complex variables, and results in a different kind of setting that gives a new perspective on the properties of space-time and field theories. The book is designed to be used by mathematicians and physicists and so the authors have made it reasonably self-contained. The first part contains a development of the necessary mathematical background. In the second part, Yang-Mills fields and gravitational fields (the basic fields of contemporary physics) are described at the classical level. In the final part, the mathematics and physics are married to solve a number of field-theoretical problems. This study deals with the twistor treatment of linear and non-linear partial differential equations. The authors develop the mathematical background, go on to discuss Yang Mills fields and gravitational fields in classical language and finish by solving a number of field-theoretic problems.
