Twistors and gauge fields

A.G. Sergeev

Steklov Mathematical Institute, Moscow, Russia

Abstract

We describe briefly the basic ideas and results of the twistor theory. The main points: twistor representation of Minkowsky space, Penrose correspondence and its geometrical properties, twistor interpretation of linear massless fields, Yang-Mills fields (including instantons and monopoles) and Einstein-Hilbert equations.
