Mapping of connections on bundles and gauge field theories
TLDR
The problem of solving the combined gravitational and Yang-Mills field systems is regarded as a purely geometrical problem of determining a linear connection on the principal frame bundle L(M) from a connection on a SU(2) principal bundle over a space-time M.Abstract:
The problem of solving the combined gravitational and Yang–Mills field systems is regarded as a purely geometrical problem of determining a linear connection on the principal frame bundle L(M) from a connection on a SU(2) principal bundle over a space‐time M. It is suggested that mapping theorems of connections on bundles may provide a means of actually solving ‘‘field equations.’’read more

Lorentz Invariance and the Gravitational Field
TL;DR: In this article, Utiyama's discussion is extended by considering the 10-parameter group of inhomogeneous Lorentz transformations, involving variation of the coordinates as well as the field variables.

Integral Formalism for Gauge Fields
TL;DR: In this article, a new integral formalism for gauge fields is described, including gravitation equations related to, but not identical with, Einstein's equations, and further developments are presented.

Geometry of Yang-Mills fields
TL;DR: The major breakthrough came with the observation by Ward that the complex methods developed by Penrose in his 'twistor programme' were ideally suited to the study of the Yang-Mills equations.
