On Discrete Differential Geometry in Twistor Space
  In this paper we introduce a discrete integrable system generalizing the discrete (real) cross-ratio system in $S^4$ to complex values of a generalized cross-ratio by considering $S^4$ as a real section of the complex Pl\"ucker quadric, realized as the space of two-spheres in $S^4.$ We develop the geometry of the Pl\"ucker quadric by examining the novel contact properties of two-spheres in $S^4,$ generalizing classical Lie geometry in $S^3.$ Discrete differential geometry aims to develop discrete equivalents of the geometric notions and methods of classical differential geometry. We define discrete principal contact element nets for the Pl\"ucker quadric and prove several elementary results. Employing a second real real structure, we show that these results generalize previous results by Bobenko and Suris $(2007)$ on discrete differential geometry in the Lie quadric.
