n-point functions of 2d Yang-Mills theories on Riemann surfaces
Abstract
Using the simple path integral method we calculate the n-point functions of field strength of Yang-Mills theories on arbitrary two-dimensional Riemann surfaces. In U(1) case we show that the correlators consist of two parts , a free and an x-independent part. In the case of non-abelian semisimple compact gauge groups we find the non-gauge invariant correlators in Schwinger-Fock gauge and show that it is also divided to a free and an almost x-independent part. We also find the gauge-invariant Green functions and show that they correspond to a free field theory.
