We study the large N asymptotics of the Brownian motions on the orthogonal, unitary and symplectic groups, extend the convergence in non-commutative distribution originally obtained by Biane for the unitary Brownian motion to the orthogonal and symplectic cases, and derive explicit estimates for the speed of convergence in non-commutative distribution of arbitrary words in independent increments of Brownian motions.
Using these results, we fulfil part of a program outlined by Singer by constructing and studying the large N limit of the Yang-Mills measure on the Euclidean plane with orthogonal, unitary and symplectic structure groups. We prove that each Wilson loop converges in probability towards a deterministic limit, and that its expectation converges to the same limit at a speed which is controlled explicitly by the length of the loop. In the course of this study, we reprove and mildly generalise a result of Hambly and Lyons on the set of tree-like rectifiable paths.
Finally, we establish rigorously, both for finite N and in the large N limit, the Schwinger-Dyson equations for the expectations of Wilson loops, which in this context are called the Makeenko-Migdal equations. We study how these equations allow one to compute recursively the expectation of a Wilson loop as a component of the solution of a differential system with respect to the areas of the faces delimited by the loop.
