Further Advances in Twistor Theory: Volume II: Integrable Systems, Conformal Geometry and Gravitation

Twistor theory is the remarkable mathematical framework that was discovered by Roger Penrose in the course of research into gravitation and quantum theory. It have since developed into a broad, many-faceted programme that attempts to resolve basic problems in physics by encoding the structure of physical fields and indeed space-time itself into the complex analytic geometry of twistor space.

Twistor theory has important applications in diverse areas of mathematics and mathematical physics. T...
