Form factors and correlation functions in N = 4 super Yang-Mills theory from twistor space

Abstract: In this PhD thesis we extend the twistor formalism to encompass (partially) off-shell quantities. We describe all gauge-invariant local composite operators in twistor space and show that they immediately generate all tree-level form factors of the MHV type. We use the formalism to compute form factors at NMHV and higher NkMHV level in parallel to how this had been done for amplitudes previously. Finally, we move on to integrability by computing the one-loop dilatation operator in the scalar sector of the theory in twistor space.
