[Todor Milanov]

Dear all,

I would like to announce the following Mathematics and String theory seminar at Kavli IPMU

Speaker: Alexei Rosly (ITEP)
Date:	Tue, Nov 08, 2016, 13:15 - 14:45
Place:	Kavli IPMU, Seminar Room A


Title: Self-Dual Yang-Mills Theory and Twistors

Abstract: 

The Self-Dual Yang-Mills Theory is an extreme and non-physical 
simplification of an ordinary Yang-Mills Theory. Nevertheless, it 
provides a useful exercise in quantum field theory. In particular, it 
gives an example of a four dimensional non-supersymmetric theory which 
is conformal. Therefore, it should have a formulation in the twistor 
space and it does indeed. We describe this with an emphasis on 
construction of observables associated with holomorphic curves in 
twistor space.
