There is evidence that one can compute tree level super Yang-Mills amplitudes using either connected or completely disconnected curves in twistor space. We argue that the two computations are equivalent, if the integration contours are chosen in a specific way, by showing that they can both be reduced to the same integral over a moduli space of singular curves. We also formulate a class of new ``intermediate prescriptions to calculate the same amplitudes.

We consider the twistor space ${cal P}^6cong{mathbb R}^4{times}{mathbb C}P^1$ of ${mathbb R}^4$ with a non-integrable almost complex structure ${cal J}$ such that the canonical bundle of the almost complex manifold $({cal P}^6, {cal J})$ is trivial. It is shown that ${cal J}$-holomorphic Chern-Simons theory on a real $(6|2)$-dimensional graded extension ${cal P}^{6|2}$ of the twistor space ${cal P}^6$ is equivalent to self-dual Yang-Mills theory on Euclidean space ${mathbb R}^4$ with Lorentz invariant action. It is also shown that adding a local term to a Chern-Simons-type action on ${cal P}^{6|2}$, one can extend it to a twistor action describing full Yang-Mills theory.
We explain some details of the construction of composite operators in N=4 SYM that we have elaborated earlier in the context of Lorentz harmonic chiral (LHC) superspace. We give a step-by-step elementary derivation and show that the result coincides with the recent hypothesis put forward in arXiv:1603.04471 within the twistor approach. We provide the appropriate LHC-to-twistors dictionary.
We give a unified division algebraic description of (D=3, N=1,2,4,8), (D=4, N=1,2,4), (D=6, N=1,2) and (D=10, N=1) super Yang-Mills theories. A given (D=n+2, N) theory is completely specified by selecting a pair (A_n, A_{nN}) of division algebras, A_ n, A_{nN} = R, C, H, O, where the subscripts denote the dimension of the algebras. We present a master Lagrangian, defined over A_{nN}-valued fields, which encapsulates all cases. Each possibility is obtained from the unique (O, O) (D=10, N=1) theory by a combination of Cayley-Dickson halving, which amounts to dimensional reduction, and removing points, lines and quadrangles of the Fano plane, which amounts to consistent truncation. The so-called triality algebras associated with the division algebras allow for a novel formula for the overall (spacetime plus internal) symmetries of the on-shell degrees of freedom of the theories. We use imaginary A_{nN}-valued auxiliary fields to close the non-maximal supersymmetry algebra off-shell. The failure to close for maximally supersymmetric theories is attributed directly to the non-associativity of the octonions.

We show how to consistently renormalize $mathcal{N} = 1$ and $mathcal{N} = 2$ super-Yang-Mills theories in flat space with a local (i.e. space-time-dependent) renormalization scale in a holomorphic scheme. The action gets enhanced by a term proportio nal to derivatives of the holomorphic coupling. In the $mathcal{N} = 2$ case, this new action is exact at all orders in perturbation theory.
We construct the 4-dimensional ${cal N}=frac12$ and ${cal N}=1$ inhomogeneously mass-deformed super Yang-Mills theories from the ${cal N} =1^*$ and ${cal N} =2^*$ theories, respectively, and analyse their supersymmetric vacua. The inhomogeneity is at tributed to the dependence of background fluxes in the type IIB supergravity on a single spatial coordinate. This gives rise to inhomogeneous mass functions in the ${cal N} =4$ super Yang-Mills theory which describes the dynamics of D3-branes. The Killing spinor equations for those inhomogeneous theories lead to the supersymmetric vacuum equation and a boundary condition. We investigate two types of solutions in the $ {cal N}=frac12$ theory, corresponding to the cases of asymptotically constant mass functions and periodic mass functions. For the former case, the boundary condition gives a relation between the parameters of two possibly distinct vacua at the asymptotic boundaries. Brane interpretations for corresponding vacuum solutions in type IIB supergravity are also discussed. For the latter case, we obtain explicit forms of the periodic vacuum solutions.
