DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/CMU-TP/25/">
 The classical double copy from twistor space</a>\nby Christopher White (Qu
 een Mary University) as part of Carnegie Mellon theoretical physics\n\n\nA
 bstract\nThe "double copy” is an intriguing and recently discovered rela
 tionship between quantities in gauge theories and gravity. It has been app
 lied to (quantum) scattering amplitudes as well as classical solutions\, i
 ncluding those relevant for gravitational wave experiments. In some cases\
 , we can even relate exact solutions in different theories\, although why 
 this works has remained mysterious. In this talk\, I will show that certai
 n exact double copies can be derived using well-established ideas from twi
 stor theory\, which also proves that they are more general than previously
  thought. No previous knowledge of twistors will be assumed.\n
