چکیده
We prove the first mathematical result relating the Yang-Mills measure on a compact surface and the Yang-Mills energy. We show that, at the small volume limit, the scaled YangMills measures satisfy a large deviation principle with a rate function which is expressed in a simple and natural way in terms of the Yang-Mills energy.

A large deviation principle for the Yang-Mills measure
We prove the first mathematical result relating the Yang-Mills measure on a compact surface and the Yang-Mills energy. We show that, at the small volume limit, the scaled Yang-Mills measures satisfy a large deviation principle with the Yang-Mills energy as rate function. This gives some rigorous content to the informal description of the Yang-Mills measure as the Gibbs measure of the Yang-Mills...
متن کاملYang-Mills Measure on Compact Surfaces
We construct and study the Yang-Mills measure in two dimensions. According to the informal description given by the physicists, it is a probability measure on the space of connections modulo gauge transformations on a principal bundle with compact structure group. We are interested in the case where the base space of this bundle is a compact orientable surface. The construction of the measure i...
متن کاملDiscrete and continuous Yang-Mills measure for non-trivial bundles over compact surfaces
In this paper, we construct one Yang-Mills measure on a compact surface for each isomorphism class of principal bundles over this surface. For this, we refine the discretization procedure used in a previous construction [8] and define a new discrete theory which is essentially a covering of the usual one. We prove that the measures corresponding to different isomorphism classes of bundles or to...
متن کاملTwo-dimensional Markovian Holonomy Fields
— We define a notion of Markov process indexed by curves drawn on a compact surface and taking its values in a compact Lie group. We call such a process a two-dimensional Markovian holonomy field. The prototype of this class of processes, and the only one to have been constructed before the present work, is the canonical process under the Yang-Mills measure, first defined by Ambar Sengupta [32]...
متن کاملLarge-N limit of the two-dimensinal Yang-Mills theory on surfaces with boundaries
The large-N limit of the two-dimensional U(N) Yang-Mills theory on an arbitrary orientable compact surface with boundaries is studied. It is shown that if the holonomies of the gauge field on boundaries are near the identity, then the critical behavior of the system is the same as that of an orientable surface without boundaries with the same genus but with a modified area. The diffenece betwee...
