    The authors find an analogue of the twistor theory. The so-called duality theorem for Hurwitz twistors is proved: For this special Hermitian Hurwitz pair mentioned in the title a \(1-1\)-mapping between twistors on \((1,3)\)-space and \((2,2)\)-space is deduced. As one of the main results it is shown that every solution of the spinor equation with \(\text{spin}\, n/2\) on \((2,2)\)-space can be represented as a \(\partial\)-harmonic 1-form with respect to the Hermitian indefinite metric. Further a relationship between complex analysis and spinor theory on a suitable open set is pointed out (locally). In this way some kind of a semi-global version of the Penrose theory is obtained. A global version of the original Penrose theory can be also deduced applying the Penrose transformation. The authors introduce the notions of the Dirac-Hurwitz spinor of \(\text{spin}\,1/2\) and the Weyl-Hurwitz spinor related to the Hurwitz spinor. The results in this contribution can be used to get a relative de Rham form in order to describe the correspondence between the Dolbeault cohomology groups and spinor functions.
