Supersymmetric twists in twistor space and holography
Abstract
We compute some supersymmetric twists of field theories in twistor space, including the minimal supersymmetric and the chiral algebra twists of supersymmetric self-dual Yang-Mills, and the minimal twist of self-dual supergravity. In the case of we also find their holographic duals in the framework of chiral holography. We find that the minimal twist of gauge theories in twistor space localizes them to spacetime, making the choice of complex structure manifest, and reproducing the minimal twist on spacetime. For superconformal theories we apply a further twist which localizes the theory to a plane contained on spacetime, reproducing the chiral algebra twist of sYM. We show that the bulk duals of these twists also localize reproducing the results from twisted holography.
