Yang–Mills theory is a fundamental framework in theoretical physics that describes the behavior of gauge fields. Named after physicists Chen-Ning Yang and Robert Mills, who proposed it in 1954, the theory is a cornerstone of the Standard Model of particle physics, which describes the electromagnetic, weak, and strong forces.
