Given a four dimensional Riemannian manifold we can associate to it an almost complex manifold of real dimension 6 called the 'twistor space'. We will explore how information about the twistor space translates into the initial manifold. An interesting case is when we start with an anti-self-dual metric, in that case the almost complex structure is integrable and there are stronger connections.
