Some beautiful equations of mathematical physics
Daniel Z. Freedman
Abstract
The basic ideas and the important role of gauge principles in modern elementary particle physics are outlined. There are three theoretically consistent gauge principles in quantum field theory: the spin-1 gauge principle of electromagnetism and the standard model, the spin-2 gauge principle of general relativity, and the spin-3/2 gauge principle of supergravity. (Dirac Prize lecture, November 1993. Two figures are unavailable, but should not be essential.)
