Almost Complex Structure
We here very briefly recap some standard results of complex geometry that we will need in the following.Definition II.1 An almost complex structure on a differentiable manifold M is a differentiable endomorphism in the tangent bundle, J: TM\mapsto TM, such that J^2=-Id .A differentiable manifold with some fixed almost...

We are now in a position to describe the essential structure of the twistor space of a Riemannian manifold. See , and reference therein for the original results. We however presents these results in a way that is suitable for our `pure connection' generalisation.

The Non-Linear Graviton Theorem

The key insight was holomorphicity. The original success of twistor theory takes the form of three t...

The Mason-Wolf Action for Self-Dual Gravity
In , L.Mason and M.Wolf described a twistor action for self-dual gravity. It is an action for an \mathcal {O}(2)-valued one-form \tau and a \mathcal {O}(-6)-valued one-form b on some 6d real manifold, the `projective twistor space'. It essentially used a new version of the non linear graviton theorem relying on the equ...

A new action for Gravity as a background invariant generalisation of the Chalmers-Siegel action.
What is more for \epsilon =0 this action describes anti-self-dual gravity.By construction the \Sigma _A's are such that,F^i = M^{ij} \Sigma _A^j.Our choice of volume form,\frac{1}{3}\Sigma ^i \wedge \Sigma ^i = \frac{1}{\Lambda ^2}\left(tr \sqrt{F\wedge F}\right)^2,is such that Tr M = \Lambda is a constant.Now, varying...

Discussion on a second ansatz
The action in Proposition (REF ) looks like a promising starting point to construct ansatz for twistor action for gravity. It indeed has many appealing features. First it explicitly separates the self-dual sector (\epsilon =0) of the theory from the full theory (\epsilon \ne 0). Second it superficially looks like the s...

The notion of `stability' of a skew-linear form is, in essence, a purely algebraic concept. It is thus simpler to start at a linear algebra level before considering generalisation to differential geometry. Accordingly, everywhere in this section, let E be a n-dimensional vector space. Stability of skew linear form is a...

Action of the General Linear Group on Forms
Let us now consider the group of linear isomorphisms End\left(E\right) \simeq GL(n) on E. Its natural action on E extends to k-skew-linear form: Let \alpha \in \wedge ^k E^* , then for any g \in End\left(E\right) \simeq GL(n) we defineg.\alpha \left(X_1, ..., X_k\right) \alpha \left(g(X_1), ..., g(X_k)\right), \qquad \...

Let \rho \in \wedge ^{2m-2}E^* be stable. As already discussed this implies that \rho = \frac{1}{(m-1)!}\omega ^{m-1} with \omega a stable 2 form. Then Hitchin functional is again the Liouville form for \omega (REF ).This can be constructed directly from \rho as follows. First we make use of the isomorphism \wedge ^k E...

On the `Background independence' of Hitchin Theories
A subtle point in `Hitchin theory' is the prescription of varying inside a cohomology class. It means that one must first choose a cohomology class \left[\rho _0\right] and only then vary the form. Practically this often implies to write the form as\rho = \rho _0+ dB.Then \rho _0 will effectively play the role of a bac...

In Hitchin described a generalisation of the volume functional C\wedge \hat{C} to all odd or even polyforms in 6D. There is thus a generalisation of all 3 theories (REF ), (REF ) and (REF ) to polyforms, necessarily involving forms of all degree. It would be interesting to study these theories, and characterise them in...

Hitchin Theories in Six Dimensions
In this chapter we look into the geometrical details of different constructions related to stable forms in six dimensions. The aim is to allow to understand the content of the theories described at the end of the preceding chapter and give a precise sense to the different statements that were made. Accordingly we first...

Stable three-forms over
A stable three-form in six dimensions is a form that lies in an open {\rm {GL}}(6) orbit. For complex three-forms, there is a single open orbit. On the other hand for real three-forms there are two distinct orbits that can be distinguished by a sign. It is thus easier to start with the description of the situation over...

Three Dimensional Gravity as a Dimensional Reduction of Hitchin Theory in Six Dimensions
In this chapter, we want to establish that {\rm {SU}}(2) reduction of the `background independent' version of Hitchin theory is 3D gravity coupled with a constant scalar field. We first show how 3D gravity can be naturally understood from a 6D point of view and, what is more, is a subset of solutions to Hitchin theory....

The pure connection formulation
Consider a definite connection {{w}} with sign \Lambda =\pm 1. The pure connection formulation gravity action is just the total volumeS_{GR}[{{w}}] = -\Lambda \; \int _{M^3} \; v_{{f}}.An interesting property of definite connections with sign \Lambda = \pm 1 is that they define a frame field {{e}}_{{f}}\in \Omega ^1\le...
