Abstract

A definition is proposed of “four-dimensional conformal field theory” in which the Riemann surfaces of two-dimensional CFT are replaced by (Riemannian) conformally flat four-manifolds and the holomorphic functions are replaced by solutions of the Dirac equation. The definition is investigated from the point of view of twistor theory, allowing methods from complex analysis to be employed. The paper fills in the main mathematical details omitted from the preliminary announcement [15].
