The S-matrix from holomorphic Wilson loops in twistor space


Abstract:
Twistors have provided a powerful technique in the study of four-dimensional theories, most recently in the study of scattering amplitudes. In this talk I explain how some of the ideas may be generalized to higher dimensions. In particular I will discuss how the Penrose transform works in relation to momentum eigenstates and give some higher dimensional twistor formulae for amplitudes.
