When a conformal map is applied to such a field, the resulting field is again a valid electromagnetic field. Even when the conformal map is complex, i.e. it mixes real and complex points of space, the resulting field is valid. To better understand complex conformal maps, we introduce Dirac spinors and Twistor space. Using these concepts, we find a nicer expression for a — possibly complex — conformal transformation. This could ease the calculation of the transformed electromagnetic field.Show less
