Quatum Hall Effect Novel Quantum State of Matter (Condensed matter: Non-relativistic Quantum Mechanics) Quatum Spin Hall Effect, Quantum Hall Effect in Graphene etc. 1. Twistor Theory Quantization of Space-Time (Mathematical Physics: Relativistic Quantum Mechanics) ADHM Construction, Integrable Models. Twistor String etc. Light has special importance. Monopole plays an important role. R. Laughlin (1983) R. Penrose (1967)

Extra-Time Physics ? Sp(2,R) gauge symmetry is required to eliminate the negative norms. Base manifold Gauge Symmetry 2T The present model fulfills this requirement from the very beginning ! There may be some kind of ``duality’’ ?? This set-up exactly corresponds to 2T physics developed by I. Bars ! C.M. Hull (99)
