Nonlinear gravitons, null geodesics, and holomorphic disks (Q868717): Difference between revisions

A global twistor correspondence for pseudo-Riemannian conformal structures of signature \((++--)\) with self-dual Weyl curvature is studied. Near the conformal class of the standard indefinite product metric on \(S^2 \times S^2\), there is an infinite-dimensional moduli space of such structures whose null geodesics are all periodic. Some of these classes are represented by scalar-flat indefinite Kähler metrics. See also \textit{L. J. Mason, L. P. Hughston} and \textit{P. Z. Kobak} (eds.) [Further advances in twistor theory.
