All ingredients of the previous chapters are combined in order to build a gauge invariant theory of the interactions among the elementary particles. We start with a unified model of the weak and the electromagnetic interactions. The gauge symmetry is spontaneously broken through the BEH mechanism and we identify the resulting BEH boson. Then we describe the theory known as quantum chromodynamics (QCD), a gauge theory of the strong interactions. We present the property of confinement which explains why the quarks and the gluons cannot be extracted out of the protons and neutrons to form free particles. The last section contains a comparison of the theoretical predictions based on this theory with the experimental results. The agreement between theory and experiment is spectacular.

It is shown that the contact term discovered by Wendt is sufficient to ensure finiteness of all tree-level scattering amplitudes in Witten’s field theory of open superstrings. Its inclusion in the action also leads to a gauge-invariant theory. Thus, no additional higher-order counterterms in the action are needed.

A new generalization of the vector Schwinger model is considered where gauge symmetry is broken at the quantum mechanical level. By proper extension of the phase space this broken symmetry has been restored in two different ways. One of these two leads to a BRST-invariant effective action. An equivalent gauge-invariant theory is reformulated even in the usual phase space also.

Chaotic phenomena in general relativity are investigated. In relativistic astrophysical problems no space-time coordinate system is privileged in any way as far as the physical description of phenomena is concerned. Effects which depend on the choice of the particular coordinate system should be treated as an artifact of the incorrect methods. To avoid such difficulties the gauge invariant theory of chaos is proposed.
