Solutions of Hitchin's self-duality equations corresponds to special real sections in the Deligne-Hitchin moduli space -- twistor lines. A question posed by Simpson in 1997 asks whether all real sections give rise to global solutions of the…
By generalizing and extending some of the earlier results derived by Manin and Merkulov, a twistor description is given of four-dimensional N-extended (gauged) self-dual supergravity with and without cosmological constant. Starting from the…

The classical double copy relating exact solutions of biadjoint scalar, gauge and gravity theories continues to receive widespread attention. Recently, a derivation of the exact classical double copy was presented, using ideas from twistor…
We have established a 1-1 correspondence between a solution of the universal Whitham hierarchy and a twistor space. The twistor space consists of a complex surface and a family of complex curves together with a meromorphic 2-form. The…
Two types of Poisson pencils connected to classical R-matrices and their quantum counterparts are considered. A representation theory of the quantum algebras related to some symmetric orbits in $sl(n)^*$ is constructed. A twisted version of…

The correspondence between stationary, axisymmetric, asymptotically flat space-times and bundles over a reduced twistor space has been established in four dimensions. The main impediment for an application of this correspondence to examples…

In 1980 Jimbo and Miwa evaluated the diagonal two-point correlation function of the square lattice Ising model as a $\tau$-function of the sixth Painlev\'e system by constructing an associated isomonodromic system within their theory of…
The aim of this article is to generalize the isomonodromic-isospectral correspondence for meromorphic connections of rank $2$ over $\mathbb{P}^1$ to the twisted case. More specifically, the construction of the isospectral approach is…
We review some aspects of recurrence in topological dynamics and focus on two open problems. The first is an old one concerning the relation between Poincare and Birkhoff recurrence; the second, due to Boshernitzan, is about moving…
