Residues and Topological Yang-Mills Theory in Two Dimensions
Abstract
A residue formula which evaluates any correlation function of topological SUn Yang-Mills theory with arbitrary magnetic flux insertion in two dimensions are obtained. Deformations of the system by two form operators are investigated in some detail. The method of the diagonalization of a matrix valued field turns out to be useful to compute various physical quantities. As an application we find the operator that contracts a handle of a Riemann surface and a genus recursion relation.
