Scientific paper

Following some motivating comments on large N two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory, we discuss techniques for large N group representation theory, using quantum mechanics on the group manifold U(N), its equivalence to a quasirelativistic two-dimensional free fermion theory, and bosonization. As applications, we compute the free energy for two-dimensional Yang-Mills theory on the torus to O(1/N^2), and an interesting approximation to the leading answer for the sphere. We discuss the question of whether the free energy for the torus has R -> 1/R invariance. A substantially revised version of hep-th/9303159 with many new results.
