We discuss the classical and quantum reduction to the space of physical degrees of freedom of Yang--Mills theory on a circle (so that space-time is a cylinder). Although the classical reduced phase space is finite-dimensional, the quantum reduction procedure is mathematically fascinating, involving firstly the Wiener measure on a loop group, secondly a generalization of the Cameron--Martin theorem to loop groups, and thirdly Hall's coherent states for compact Lie groups. Our approach is based on a quantum analogue of the classical Marsden--Weinstein symplectic reduction process.
