Gerardus ‘t Hooft
Proving the non-renormalizability of Einstein-gravity (general relativity):
Introducing 't Hooft double line notation and the large N limit of Yang-Mills theory/QCD at fixed 't Hooft coupling in terms of planar Feynman diagrams:

Gerard 't Hooft, Large N, workshop lecture (hep-th/0204069)
On D=2 QCD ('t Hooft model):
Original argument that magnetic monopoles may appear in grand unified theories:
Early survey of aspects of the gauge theory involved in the standard model of particle physics (quantum electrodynamics, quantum chromodynamics and weak nuclear force) and proposing the dual superconductor model of confinement (p. 4-5):
Expanding on the dual superconductor model of confinement:
On naturalness and chiral symmetry breaking (and introducing the concept that became known as 't Hooft anomalies):
On 3d gravity as a Chern-Simons theory and its holographic relation to a 2d CFT boundary field theory (well before AdS/CFT was conceived from string theory):
On instantons in chiral perturbation theory:
On non-perturbative quantum field theory:
Introducing the holographic principle:
