Penrose-Ward correspondence
ID: penrose-ward-correspondence
A holomorphic vector bundle on an appropriate twistor domain, trivial on its space-time incidence lines, determines a complex anti-self-dual gauge gauge connection. Split its patching matrix on each line and apply the tangent vector fields . They annihilate the unsplit twistor patching matrix, so the two logarithmic derivatives of the factors agree and define a global degree-one function of . It is consequently . The inverse splitting bundle frame is parallel along each alpha-plane; commuting these parallel equations proves that the primed gauge curvature two-component spinor vanishes. Reality conditions recover unitary Euclidean gauge fields; Euclidean instanton bundles need triviality on the real twistor lines, not on every possible complex line.
