Non-linear strings in two-dimensional U(∞) gauge theory
Abstract
A non-singular version of the Makeenko-Migdal equation for the Wilson loop average in two-dimensional U( N) gauge theory is derived. In the limit N→∞ the exact solution is obtained for an arbitrary (with any self-intersections) closed loop.
