    In three and four dimensions solutions of certain linear differential equations are known to correspond to cohomology classes on complex manifolds known as 'twistor spaces'. In this paper such a twistor correspondence is established between solutions of differential operators on \({\mathbb{C}}^{n+1}\) for \(n>1\) of the form \(D=f(\partial /\partial x_ 1,\partial /\partial x_ 2,...,\partial /\partial x_{n+1})\), where f is a homogeneous polynomial of degree k, and certain cohomology classes on a twistor space Z. The space Z is the total space of the hyperplane bundle restricted to the subvariety of \({\mathbb{P}}_ n\) determined by the zeroes of the polynomial f. When 1\(\leq k\leq n\) this correspondence is shown to be an isomorphism.
