Abstract

We study the structures of partition functions of the large NN generalized two-dimensional Yang-Mills theories (gYM2gYM_2) by recasting the higher Casimirs. We clarify the appropriate interpretations of them and try to extend the Cordes-Moore-Ramgoolam's topological string model describing the ordinary YM2YM_2 \cite{CMR} to those describing gYM2gYM_2. We present the expressions of the appropriate operators to reproduce the higher Casimir terms in gYM2gYM_2. The concept of ''deformed gravitational descendants'' will be introduced for this purpose.
