Twistor-Strings, Grassmannians and Leading Singularities
Published 2009“…We go on to show that the genus g twistor-string moduli space for g-loop N^{k-2}MHV amplitudes may be mapped into the Grassmannian G(k,n). Restricting to a leading singularity, the image of this map is a 2(n-2)-dimensional subcycle of G(k,n) of exactly the type found from the Grassmannian residue formula of Arkani-Hamed, Cachazo, Cheung and Kaplan. …”

Gravity in Twistor Space and its Grassmannian Formulation
Published 2012“…In addition, we provide a description of gravity amplitudes as a multidimensional contour integral over a Grassmannian. The Grassmannian formulation has a very simple structure; in the N$^{k-2}$MHV sector the integrand is essentially the product of that of an MHV and an $\overline{{\rm MHV}}$ amplitude, with $k+1$ and $n-k-1$ particles respectively.…”

Dual Superconformal Invariance, Momentum Twistors and Grassmannians
Published 2009“…We show that tree amplitudes and box coefficients are succinctly generated by integration of holomorphic delta-functions in momentum twistors over cycles in a Grassmannian. This is analogous to, although distinct from, recent results obtained by Arkani-Hamed et al. in ordinary twistor space. …”

Tau functions and the twistor theory of integrable systems
Published 2000“…We first define τ-functions as generalized cross-ratios of four points on a finite- or infinite-dimensional Grassmannian. We show how this definition can be used to construct a natural flat connection on a determinant line bundle associated with two equivariant holomorphic vector bundles over a twistor space, provided that the action of the symmetries on the bundles has the same normal form at the fixed points for the two bundles. …”

The correlahedron
Published 2017“…Re-expressing the Grassmann dependence of correlation functions of n chiral stress-energy multiplets with Grassmann degree 4k in terms of 4(n + k)-linear bosonic variables, the resulting expressions have an interpretation as volume forms on a Gr(n+k, 4+n+k) Grassmannian, analogous to the expressions for planar amplitudes via the amplituhedron. …”

Scattering Amplitudes and Wilson Loops in Twistor Space
Published 2011“…We give a brief review of other ideas in connection with amplitudes in twistor space: twistor-strings, recursion in twistor space, the Grassmannian residue formula for leading singularities and amplitudes as polytopes. …”
