Summary on Grant Application Form
Over the past 18 months, major progress has been made in understanding the perturbative regime of Yang-Mills theory and gravity. This progress has been triggered by Witten's discovery in December 2003 that tree-level scattering amplitudes of gluons in gauge theory can equivalently be computed by using a topological string theory with a supersymmetric version of Penrose's twistor space as its target space. A workshop was held in January in Oxford on closely related topics,and the time is now ripe to organise a new meeting to take stock of the important developments that occurred since January, and stimulate further advances.
