Twisting Twistor space

Abstract

We construct twisted noncommutative gauge theories on twistor space and show that they are equivalent to four-dimensional twist-noncommutative gauge theories. In particular, we study twists of the Poincaré algebra. We explain how such a twist leads to twisted noncommutative twistor space and how to construct noncommutative versions of BF theory and holomorphic Chern-Simons theory on noncommutative supertwistor space. We show how those theories are equivalent to noncommutative versions of Yang-Mills theory and supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, respectively.
