As a Euclidean quantum field theories, the Yang-Mills measure can be formally understood as a probability measure, like the Wiener measure, on a very large probability space. Making rigorous mathematical sense of this formal point of view is a challenging problem, that is most often open, in particular for the Yang-Mills measure with a non-abelian structure group and a four dimensional space-time. Nonetheless, for a two dimensional space-time, this problem has been solved recently in different ways, leading to a well-defined notion of Yang-Mills measure, as a specific law of a random holonomy field. We will recall a construction due to T. Lévy and discuss its large N limit. We will present partial results and a conjecture, based on joint works with T. Lemoine, according to which, in negative Euler characteristics, the topology of space-time do not impact the master field.
