In the literature on X-ray transform and Transport Twistor (TT) spaces, blow-down maps (or maps with holomorphic blow-down structure as defined in [BMP24]) are maps that desingularize the degenerate complex structure of the TT space of an…

In this work a proposal for definition of twistors on generic curved spaces is exposed and investigated. We consider superpositions of nearly autoparallel and nearly geodesic maps (nearly conformal maps, nc-maps) of (pseudo-)Riemannian…

Twistor spaces are certain compact complex threefolds with an additional real fibre bundle structure. We focus here on twistor spaces over $3\mathbb{C}\mathbb{P}^2$. Such spaces are either small resolutions of double solids or they can be…

This is a survey of the twistor lifts of surfaces in $4$-dimensional spaces. In most part of this survey, the space is Euclidean $4$-space $E^4$. The definitions of the Gauss maps and the twistor lifts of surfaces in $E^4$ are given by…

We present a version of relative locality based on the geometry of twistor space. This can also be thought of as a new kind of deformation of twistor theory based on the construction of a bundle of twistor spaces over momentum space.…

The motion of a quantum particle constrained to a two-dimensional non-compact Riemannian manifold with non-trivial metric can be described by a flat-space Schroedinger-type equation at the cost of introducing local mass and metric and…

The theory of twistors on foliated manifolds is developed and the twistor space of the normal bundle is constructed. It is demonstrated that the classical constructions of the twistor theory lead to foliated objects and permit to formulate…

Using examples of compact complex 3-manifolds which arise as twistor spaces, we show that the class of compact complex manifolds bimeromorphic to K\"ahler manifolds is not stable under small deformations of complex structure.
