Non-relativistic Twistor Theory: Newtonian Limits and Gravitationally Induced Collapse
摘要
Recently, Dunajski and Gundry (Commun. Math. Phys., 342(3), 2016) have developed a version of twistor theory for the non-relativistic domain. Unlike relativistic twistor theory, their approach is able to reproduce the entire space of models of Newton–Cartan theory. We critically assess the significance of non-relativistic twistors, in particular with respect to proposals by Dunajski and Penrose (Ann. Phys., 451, 2023) that using non-relativistic twistors to describe gravitationally induced collapse could play a part in solving the quantum measurement problem.
