Professor Sir Roger Penrose's work, spanning fifty years of
science, with over five thousand pages and more than three hundred
papers, has been collected together for the first time and arranged
chronologically over six volumes, each with an introduction from
the author. Where relevant, individual papers also come with
specific introductions or notes. Many important realizations
concerning twistor theory occurred during the short period of this
third volume, providing a new perspective on the way that
mathematical features of the complex geometry of twistor theory
relate to actual physical fields. Following on from the nonlinear
graviton construction, a twistor construction was found for
(anti-)self-dual electromagnetism allowing the general
(anti-)self-dual Yang-Mills field to be obtained. It became clear
that some features of twistor contour integrals could be understood
in terms of holomorphic sheaf cohomology. During this period, the
Oxford research group founded the informal publication, Twistor
Newsletter. This volume also contains the influential Weyl
curvature hypothesis and new forms of Penrose tiles.
