THE STRING CALCULATION OF WILSON LOOPS IN TWO-DIMENSIONAL YANG-MILLS THEORY
We demonstrate that the large N expansion of Wilson loop expectation values in SO (N) and Sp (N) Yang-Mills theory on orientable and nonorientable surfaces has a natural description as a weighted sum over covers of the given surface. The sum takes the form of the perturbative expansion of an …
