Abstract
We discuss an extended version of the Kerr theorem which allows one to construct the exact solutions of the Einstein–Maxwell field equations from a holomorphic generating function F of twistor variables. The exact multi-particle Kerr–Schild solutions are obtained from generating function of the form , where Fi are partial generating functions for the spinning particles i = 1 ⋯ k. Solutions have an unusual multi-sheeted structure. Twistorial structures of the ith and jth particles do not feel each other, forming a type of its internal space. Gravitational and electromagnetic interaction of the particles occurs via the light-like singular twistor lines. As a result, each particle turns out to be "dressed" by singular pp-strings connecting it to other particles. We argue that this solution may have a relation to quantum theory.

Complex Structure of the Four-Dimensional Kerr Geometry: Stringy System, Kerr Theorem, and Calabi-Yau Twofold

TL;DR: The 4D Kerr geometry displays many wonderful relations with quantum world and, in particular, with superstring theory as discussed by the authors, and the emergence of the Calabi-Yau twofold (K3 surface) in twistorial structure of the Kerr geometry as a consequence of the K3 theorem is shown in this paper.

Algebraic roots of Newtonian mechanics: correlated dynamics of particles on a unique worldline

TL;DR: In this article, the Vieta formula is used to guarantee that, for any worldline, the law of (non-relativistic) momentum conservation is identically satisfied, and the general structure of Newtonian mechanics follows from algebraic properties of a worldline alone.

Aligned electromagnetic excitations of a black hole and their impact on its quantum horizon

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that elementary aligned electromagnetic excitations of black holes, as coming from exact Kerr-Schild solutions, represent light-like beams pulses which have a very strong back reaction on the metric and change the topology of the horizon.

Global structure of the Kerr family of gravitational fields

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that in all except the spherically symmetric cases there is a nontrivial causality violation, i.e., there are closed timelike lines which are not removable by taking a covering space; moreover, when the charge or angular momentum is so large that there are no Killing horizons, this causal violation is of the most flagrant possible kind in that it is possible to connect any event to any other by a future-directed time line.

Perturbative Gauge Theory as a String Theory in Twistor Space

TL;DR: In this paper, Fourier transform the scattering amplitudes from momentum space to twistor space, and argue that the transformed amplitudes are supported on certain holomorphic curves, which is a consequence of an equivalence between the perturbative expansion of = 4 super Yang-Mills theory and the D-instanton expansion of a certain string theory.

Twistor theory: An approach to the quantisation of fields and space-time

TL;DR: Twistor theory as mentioned in this paper is a new approach, starting with conformally-invariant concepts, to the synthesis of quantum theory and relativity, and it is represented here in two-component spinor terms.

A Current Algebra for Some Gauge Theory Amplitudes

TL;DR: In this paper, the classical amplitude for scattering of two positive helicity and n −2 negative helicity (or the other way) gauge bosons is shown to be generated by a Wess-Zumino-Witten (WZW) model for N = 4 supersymmetric gauge theory.
