Recently Kazakov and Migdal proposed a new approach to the large $N$ limit of SU(N) gauge theories which could hopefully describe the asymptotically free fixed point of QCD in 4 dimensions. In this contribution we review the exact solution…
We give the exact solution of the Kazakov-Migdal induced gauge model in the case of a D=1 compactified lattice with a generic number $S$ of sites and for any value of N. Due to the peculiar features of the model, the partition function that…
The Kazakov--Migdal (KM) Model is a U(N) Lattice Gauge Theory with a Scalar Field in the adjoint representation but with no kinetic term for the Gauge Field. This model is formally soluble in the limit $N\rightarrow \infty$ though explicit…
We examine some properties of the filled Wilson loop observables in the Kazakov-Migdal model of induced QCD. We show that they have a natural interpretation in a modification of the original model in which the $Z_N$ gauge symmetry is broken…
A simple lattice model inducing a gauge theory is considered. The model describes an interaction of a gauge field to an $N\times N$ complex matrix scalar field transforming as a field in the fundamental representation. In contrast to the…
It is argued that the recently proposed Kazakov-Migdal model of induced gauge theory, at large $N$, involves only the zero area Wilson loops that are effectively trees in the gauge action induced by the scalars. This retains only a constant…

I consider a lattice model of a gauge field interacting with matrix-valued scalars in $D$ dimensions. The model includes an adjustable parameter $\s$, which plays role of the string tension. In the limit $\s=\infty$ the model coincides with…
Our aim is to give a self-contained review of recent advances in the analytic description of the deconfinement transition and determination of the deconfinement temperature in lattice QCD at large N. We also include some new results, as for…
We study the lattice gauge model proposed recently by Kazakov and Migdal for inducing QCD. We discuss an extra local Z_N which is a symmetry of the model and propose of how to construct observables. We discuss the role of the large-N phase…
In this talk I discuss both the present status and some recent work on the Kazakov--Migdal Model which was originally proposed as a soluble, large $N$ realization of QCD. After a brief description of the model and a discussion of its…
The spectrum of observables in the induced lattice gauge model proposed recently by V.A.Kazakov and A.A.Migdal obeys the local-confinement selection rule. The underlying local continuous symmetry cannot be spontaneously broken within the…
I study the large-N reduction a la Eguchi--Kawai in the Kazakov--Migdal lattice gauge model. I show that both quenching and twisting prescriptions lead to the coordinate-independent master field. I discuss properties of loop averages in…
There has been substantial progress in understanding a class of SU(N) gauge theories that are confining at high temperatures. This class includes theories with center-symmetric Polyakov loop deformations or with periodic adjoint fermions.…
