TL;DR
This paper reviews the origins and development of string theory, highlighting Nambu's contributions, including the invention of the theory and his 1976 Schild gauge proposal linked to matrix models.
Contribution
It provides a historical overview of string theory's inception and discusses Nambu's innovative ideas that influenced its theoretical framework.
Findings
Nambu's invention of string theory following the Veneziano amplitude
Introduction of the Schild gauge in 1976 by Nambu
Connection of string theory to matrix models of Yang-Mills type
Abstract
This is a brief summary of an introductory lecture for students and scholars in general given by the author at Nambu Memorial Symposium which was held at Osaka City University on September 29, 2015. We review the invention of string theory by Professor Yoichiro Nambu following the discovery of the Veneziano amplitude. We also discuss Professor Nambu's proposal on string theory in the Schild gauge in 1976 which is related to the matrix model of Yang-Mills type.
