The vacuum expectation value of the Wilson loop functional in pure Yang Mills theory on an arbitrary two-dimensional orientable manifold is studied. We consider the calculation of this quantity for the Abelian theory in the continuum case and for the arbitrary gauge group and arbitrary lattice actio

We consider N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory formulated in terms of N = 2 superfields in harmonic superspace. Using the background field method we define manifestly gauge invariant and N = 2 supersymmetric effective action depending on N = 2 strength superfields and develop a general procedure
QCD 2 with fermions in the adjoint representation is invariant under SU(N )ÂZ N and thereby is endowed with a nontrivial vacuum structure (k-sectors). The static potential between adjoint charges, in the limit of infinite mass, can be therefore obtained by computing Wilson loops in the pure Yang Mil
We study the effective action in Euclidean Yang-Mills theory with a compact simple gauge group in one-loop approximation assuming a covariantly constant gauge field strength as a background. For groups of higher rank and spacetimes of higher dimensions such field configurations have many independent
