A First Course on Twistors, Integrability and Gluon Scattering Amplitudes

Understand

These notes accompany an introductory lecture course on the twistor approach to supersymmetric gauge theories aimed at early-stage PhD students.

• It was held by the author at the University of Cambridge during the Michaelmas term in 2009.
• The lectures assume a working knowledge of differential geometry and quantum field theory.
• No prior knowledge of twistor theory is required.
