We present a worldsheet theory that describes maps into a curved target space equipped with a B-field and dilaton. The conditions for the theory to be consistent at the quantum level can be computed exactly, and are that the target space fields obey the nonlinear d=10 supergravity equations of motion, with no higher curvature terms. The path integral is constrained to obey a generalization of the scattering equations to curved space. Remarkably, the supergravity field equations emerge as quantum corrections to these curved space scattering equations.

  1. Schwarzschild black holes from twistor space

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 8.0

    The Schwarzschild metric is derived as a Kähler metric on a holomorphic 'coincidence locus' within the twistor space of self-dual Taub-NUT, solving the googly problem for this specific spacetime.

  2. The spectrum of the bosonic ambitwistor string revisited

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The bosonic ambitwistor string spectrum is confined to the massless sector and contains the dilaton, metric, Kalb-Ramond field plus an extra vector, but is non-unitary.
