内山龍雄氏とヤン＝ミルズ理論の話
下記は有名だが、私が読んだのは、内山龍雄氏の本のあとがきだったかで（多分下記 内山龍雄 『一般ゲージ場論序説』岩波書店、1987年か）
ヤン＝ミルズ理論を独立に考えていた
1954年5～6月頃 京大で口頭発表。もしこのときに、走り書きでもプリントを配って、アリバイがあったらと思うと残念ですが
当時は船で1か月くらいかけて、米国のプリンストンに行ったそうな
そして、米国へついたらゆっくり論文を仕上げようと思っていたら、10月に相手の論文を知り、愕然としたという
（もし現在なら、口頭発表でもエビデンスを残すだろうし、いまみたく飛行機なら1か月論文を書く時間あったかも）

Yang?Mills theory
History and theoretical description
This eventually became the Yang?Mills theory, as Mills himself discussed:
"During the academic year 1953-1954, Yang was a visitor to Brookhaven National Laboratory...I was at Brookhaven also...and was assigned to the same office as Yang. Yang, who has demonstrated on a number of occasions his generosity to physicists beginning their careers, told me about his idea of generalizing gauge invariance and we discussed it at some length...I was able to contribute something to the discussions, especially with regard to the quantization procedures, and to a small degree in working out the formalism; however, the key ideas were Yang's."[3]
In early 1954, Yang and Mills extended the concept of gauge theory for abelian groups, e.g. quantum electrodynamics, to non-abelian groups to provide an explanation for strong interactions.[4] Similar work was done independently in January 1954 by Ronald Shaw, a graduate student at the University of Cambridge.[5]
