On Pauli's invention of non-abelian Kaluza-Klein Theory in 1953

arXiv:gr-qc/0012054

Abstract

There are documents which show that Wolfgang Pauli developed in 1953 the first consistent generalization of the five-dimensional theory of Kaluza, Klein, Fock and others to a higher dimensional internal space. Because he saw no way to give masses to the gauge bosons, he refrained from publishing his results formally.
