New avenues for Einstein's Gravity : from Penrose's Twistors to Hitchin's Three-Forms

In this thesis we take Einstein theory in dimension four seriously, and explore the special aspects of gravity in this number of dimension. Among the many surprising features in dimension four, one of them is the possibility of `Chiral formulations of gravity' - they are surprising as they typi...
