| Sumario: | In this paper we develop a concrete description of connections on principal bundles, possibly non-trivial, over compact surfaces and use this description to construct the Yang-Mills measure which underlies the Euclidean quantum theory of gauge fields, involving compact gauge groups, on compact connected two-dimensional Riemannian manifolds (possibly with boundary). Using this measure we compute expectation values of important random variables, the Wilson loops variables, corresponding to a broad class of configurations of loops on the surface. |
