Albeverio, Sergio (ed) et al., Traces in number theory, geometry and quantum fields. Wiesbaden: Vieweg (ISBN 978-3-8348-0371-9/hbk). Aspects of Mathematics E38, 193-212 (2008).
Summary: An overview of mathematical aspects of \(U(N)\) pure gauge theory in two dimensions is presented, with focus on the large-\(N\) limit of the theory. Examples are worked out expressing Wilson loop expectation values in terms of areas enclosed by loops.
