Introduction: Twistor Program
Roger Penrose (1967)
Space-time is taken to be a secondary
construction from the more primitive
twistor notions.

Idea of Supertwistor

Complexified space-time
Fermion coordinates
Incidence relation
Non-Hermitian
Super-twistor
 Complex space-time is postulated.
 Fermion number
can be even or odd integer.

Analogies between Twistor and LLL
LLL
Twistor
 Massless Condition
Enhanced Symmetry
 More Fundamental Quantity than Space-Time
Holomorphicity, Incidence Relations
 Complex conjugation = Derivative
Noncommutative Geometry
Conclusion
 Geometrical construction of the supertwistor
based on the SUSY Hopf map.
 Properties of this construction
1. Space-time is not complexified.
2. Even number of fermionic components
of twistor is automatically incorporated.
 Close Analogy between LLL physics
and Twistor
Does it suggest something deeper??
