Large-N limit of the two-dimensinal Non-Local Yang-Mills theory on arbitrary surfaces with boundary

Abstract

The large-N limit of the two-dimensional non-local U$(N)$ Yang-Mills theory on an orientable and non-orientable surface with boundaries is studied. For the case which the holonomies of the gauge group on the boundaries are near the identity, $U\simeq I$, it is shown that the phase structure of these theories is the same as that obtain for these theories on orientable and non-orientable surface without boundaries, with same genus but with a modified area $V+\hat{A}$.
