Abstract
Gauge theories induced by scalars in the fundamental representation of the group are investigated in the large and limit. A master field is defined from bilinears of the scalar field following an Eguchi-Kawai type reduction of spacetime. The density function for the master field satisfies an integral equation that can be solved exactly in two dimensions (D=2) and in a convergent series of approximations at . While at D=2 the system is in the same phase at all , it undergoes a phase transition at a critical value, , for .
