Abstract

We study some aspects of conformal transformations in the context of twistor theory, leading to the definition of a frustrated conformal transformation. This equation relies on two instantons for the left and right copies of Sp(1)Sp(1), one being self-dual and the other anti-self-dual. Solutions to this equation naturally generate maps on ambitwistor space due to an analog of the Penrose-Ward correspondence. A solution based on the BPST instanton is presented.
