Abstract
We give here short and rough résumés on gauge models, which describe three of the four fundamental interactions of Nature—and of General Relativity, the standard theory for gravitation, which is not a gauge theory. No more than a “cast of characters”, with only the main protagonists in each case. At the end, a discussion is presented on how the gauge paradigm might be applied to gravitation.
