Abstract
On the fiftieth anniversary of Yang-Mills theory, I review the contribution to its understanding by my collaborators and me. Contents: 1.Gauge Theories and Quantum Anomalies; 2.Mathematical Connections; 3. Gauge Field Dynamics other than Yang-Mills; 4. Gauge Formalism for General Relativity Variables; A. Christoffel connection as a gauge potential, B. Gravitational Chern-Simons term from gauge theory Chern-Simons term, C. Coordinate transformations in general relativity and gauge theory, (i) Response to changes in coordinates (ii) Invariant fields and constants of motion. References.
