Abstract or Additional Information
The Penrose transform expresses massless fields in flat spacetime as cohomology classes in twistor space. We shall show an alternative formulation of massless fields using convolution operators on the Heisenberg group of twistor space. We apply this idea to give a novel interpretation of the Ward solution to massless fields in a plane wave.
