On the 50th anniversary of Yang-–ills theory, this invaluable volume looks back at the developments and achievements in elementary particle physics that ensued from that beautiful idea. During the last five decades, Yang-Mills theory, which is undeniably the most important cornerstone of theoretical physics, has expanded widely.An international team of experts, contribute essays or more detailed technical accounts to this volume. Included in each article are remarks by the editor, Gerard `t Hooft who is himself a major player in the development of the Yang-Mills theory. «
