Abstract:
We prove some conjectures of Evans and Katz presented in a paper by Evans regarding twisted Kloosterman sheaf sums Tn. These conjectures give explicit evaluations of the sums Tn where the character is cubic and n = 4. There are also conjectured relationships between evaluations of Tn and the coefficients of certain modular forms. For three of these modular forms, each of weight 3, it is conjectured that the coefficients are related to the squares of the coefficients of weight 2 modular forms. We prove these relationships using the theory of complex multiplication.

Abstract:
4D self-dual theories are proposed to generalize 2D conformal field theory. We identify 4D self-dual gravity as well as self-dual Yang-Mills theory with 2D sigma models valued in infinite-dimensional gauge groups. It is shown that these models possess infinite-dimensional symmetries with associated algebras—“CP1 extensions” of respective gauge algebras of 2D sigma models—which generalize the Kac-Moody algebra as well as W∞. We address various issues concerning 2D sigma models, twistors and sheaf cohomology. An attempt to connect 4D self-dual theories with 2D conformal field theory is made through sl (∞) Toda field theory.

Abstract:
A key obstruction to the twistor programme has been its so-called ‘googly problem’, unresolved for nearly 40 years, which asks for a twistor description of right -handed interacting massless fields (positive helicity), using the same twistor conventions that give rise to left -handed fields (negative helicity) in the standard ‘nonlinear graviton’ and Ward constructions. An explicit proposal for resolving this obstruction— palatial twistor theory —is put forward (illustrated in the case of gravitation). This incorporates the concept of a non-commutative holomorphic quantized twistor ‘Heisenberg algebra’, extending the sheaves of holomorphic functions of conventional twistor theory to include the operators of twistor differentiation.

AbstractLet X be a locally compact metrizable space. We show that the Paschke dual construction, which associates to a representation of C0(X) its commutant modulo locally compact operators, can be sheafified. We use this observation to simplify several constructions in analytic K-homology.

Abstract:
In twistor theory the nonlinear graviton construction realises four-dimensional antiself- dual Einstein manifolds as Kodaira moduli spaces of rational curves in threedimensional complex manifolds. We establish a Newtonian analogue of this procedure, in which four-dimensional Newton-Cartan manifolds arise as Kodaira moduli spaces of rational curves with normal bundle O + O(2) in three-dimensional complex manifolds. The isomorphism class of the normal bundle is unstable with respect to general deformations of the complex structure, exhibiting a jump to the Gibbons- Hawking class of twistor spaces. We show how Newton-Cartan connections can be constructed on the moduli space by means of a splitting procedure augmented by an additional vector bundle on the twistor space which emerges when considering the Newtonian limit of Gibbons-Hawking manifolds. The Newtonian limit is thus established as a jumping phenomenon. Newtonian twistor theory is extended to dimensions three and five, where novel features emerge. In both cases we are able to construct Kodaira deformations of the flat models whose moduli spaces possess Galilean structures with torsion. In five dimensions we find that the canonical affine connection induced on the moduli space can possess anti-self-dual generalised Coriolis forces. We give examples of anti-self-dual Ricci-flat manifolds whose twistor spaces contain rational curves whose normal bundles suffer jumps to O(2 - k) + O(k) for arbitrarily large integers k, and we construct maps which portray these big-jumping twistor spaces as the resolutions of singular twistor spaces in canonical Gibbons-Hawking form. For k > 3 the moduli space itself is singular, arising as a variety in an ambient complex space. We explicitly construct Newtonian twistor spaces suffering similar jumps. Finally we prove several theorems relating the first-order and higher-order symmetry operators of the Schrödinger equation to tensors on Newton-Cartan backgrounds, defining a Schrödinger-Killing tensor for this purpose. We also explore the role of conformal symmetries in Newtonian twistor theory in three, four, and five dimensions.

Abstract:
It is shown that Hp-1 (P+, 0 (-m-p)) is a Fréchet space, and its dual is Hq-1(P-, 0 (m-q)), where P+ and P- are the projectivizations of subsets of generalized twistor space (≌ ℂp-q) on which the hermitian form (of signature (p,q)) is positive and negative definite respectively, and 0(-m-p) denotes the sheaf of germs of holomorphic functions homogeneous of degree -m-p. It is then proven, for p = 2 and q = 2, that the subspace consisting of all twistor elementary states is dense in Hp-1(P+, 0(-m-p)). A supermanifold is a ringed space consisting of an underlying classical manifold and an augmented sheaf of Z2-graded algebras locally isomorphic to an exterior algebra. The subcategory of the category of ringed spaces generated by such supermanifolds is referred to as the super category. A mathematical framework suitable for describing the generalization of Yang-Mills theory to the super category is given. This includes explicit examples of supercoordinate changes, superline bundles, and superconnections. Within this framework, a definition of the full super Yang-Mills equations is given and the simplest case is studied in detail. A comprehensive account of the generalization of twistor theory to the super category is presented, and it is used in an attempt to formulate a complete description of the super Yang-Mills equations. New concepts are introduced, and several ideas which have previously appeared in the literature at the level of formal calculations are expanded and explained within a consistent framework.

Abstract:
In this thesis, we discuss a geometric construction analogous to the Ward correspondence for the KP equations. We propose a Dirac operator based on the inverse scattering transform for the KP-II equation and discuss the similarities and differences to the Ward correspondence. We also consider the KP-I equation, describing a geometric construction for a certain class of solutions. We also discuss the general inverse scattering of the equation, how this is related to the KP-II equation and the problems with describing a single geometric construction that incorporates both equations. We also consider the Davey-Stewartson equations, which have a similar behaviour. We demonstrate explicitly the problems of localising the theory with generic boundary conditions. We also present a reformulation of the Dirac operator and demonstrate a duality between the Dirac operator and the first Lax operator for the DS-II equations. We then proceed to generalise the Dirac operator construction to generate other integrable systems. These include the mKP and Ishimori equations, and an extension to the KP and mKP hierarchies.
