Twistor geometry and field theory /
Ward, R. S. 1951-
Twistor geometry and field theory / Twistor Geometry & Field Theory R.S. Ward, Raymond O. Wells, Jr. - Cambridge : Cambridge University Press, 1990. - 1 online resource (x, 520 pages) : digital, PDF file(s). - Cambridge monographs on mathematical physics . - Cambridge monographs on mathematical physics. .
Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).
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.
