Abstract

We study the spectrum of meson masses in large NcN_c QCD2_2 governed by celebrated 't Hooft's integral equation. We generalize analytical methods proposed by Fateev, Lukyanov and Zamolodchikov to the case of arbitrary, but equal quark masses m1=m2.m_1=m_2. Our results include analytical expressions for spectral sums and systematic large-nn expansion. We also study the spectral sums in the chiral limit and the heavy quark limit and find a complete agreement with known results.
