Introduction: Twistor Program Roger Penrose (1967) Space-time is taken to be a secondary construction from the more primitive twistor notions. From ``The Road to Reality’’ Space-Time Event Incidence Relation Twistor Space
Incidence Relation 4 D Minkowski-space Twistor-space Light (Null-line) Projective complex-line Non-local transformation
Massless particle and Twistor Free particle Massless particle Helicity Pauli-Lubanski spin-vector
Hopf Map: Template of Twistor Heinz Hopf (1931) Topological map from sphere to sphere in different dimensions. 1 st Hopf map 2 nd Hopf map 3 rd Hopf map
1 st Hopf Map Hopf spinor Incidence Relation
2 nd Hopf Map 2 nd Hopf map 2 nd Hopf spinor S. C. Zhang & J. P. Hu (2001)
Direct Relation to Twistor Incidence Relation Constraint is Hermitian (space-time is real) Null Twistor Helicity zero
Idea of Supertwistor Complexified space-time A. Ferber (1978) Fermion coordinates Incidence relation Non-Hermitian Super-twistor l Complex space-time is postulated. l Fermion number can be even or odd integer.
The SUSY Hopf Map The SUSY Hopf map C. Bartocci, U. Bruzzo, G. Landi (1987)
Supertwistor Variables Super Incidence Relation Not-complexified : Super-Hermitian Supertwistor variables Even number : null-supertwistor
Super Incidence Relation Minkowski-superspace Supertwistor-space Non-local super-transformation
Supertwistor action and Quantization Supertwistor action Helicity should be even integer. Twistor function wave-function for mass-less particle
Relation to Lowest Landau Level Dirac monopole U(1) connection One-particle action LLL-limit
Analogies between Twistor and LLL Twistor l Massless Condition Enhanced Symmetry l More Fundamental Quantity than Space-Time Holomorphicity, Incidence Relations l Complex conjugation = Derivative Noncommutative Geometry
Conclusion l Geometrical construction of the supertwistor based on the SUSY Hopf map. l Properties of this construction 1. Space-time is not complexified. 2. Even number of fermionic components of twistor is automatically incorporated. l Close Analogy between LLL physics and Twistor Does it suggest something deeper? ?
