T Hooft G. Under the Spell of the Gauge Principle

World Scientific, 1994. - 683 pp.
Few people studying Gauge Field Theory need to be convinced of the importance of the work of 't Hooft. This volume contains a selection of articles and review topics covering his well-known studies on the renormalization of non-Abelian gauge theorems, topological phenomena in gauge field theory and thoughts on the role of black holes in quantum gravity.
The chapters are tied together by thoughtful commentaries which provide a background and the illumination of hindsight — together they form a clear and coherent picture of the physical and theoretical importance of gauge theories and the gauge principle. This book is ideal for students and researchers.Renormalization of Gauge Theories
