In the large $N$ limit, gauge theories compactified on $\\R^{d-k} \\times (S^1)^k$ are independent of the $S^1$ radii, provided the theory has unbroken center symmetry. In particular, this implies that a large $N$ gauge theory which, on $\\R^d$, flows to an IR fixed point, retains the infinite correlation length and other scale invariant properties of the decompactified theory even when compactified on $\\R^{d-k} \\times (S^1)^k$. In other words, finite volume effects are $1/N$ suppressed.
