abstract
QCD_2 with fundamental quarks on a cylinder is solved to leading order in the 1/N expansion, including the zero mode gluons. As a result of the non-perturbative dynamics of these gauge degrees of freedom, the compact space-time direction gets effectively decompactified. In a thermodynamic interpretation, this implies that there is no pressure of order N and that the chiral condensate of order N is temperature independent. These findings are consistent with confinement of quarks, rule out both chiral and deconfining phase transitions in the finite temperature 't Hooft model, and help to resolve some controversial issues in the literature

Functional renormalization of QCD in $1 + 1$ dimensions: four-fermion interactions from quark-gluon dynamics
First functional renormalization group study of two-dimensional QCD with a mass-like regulator, producing flow equations for the gauge coupling, quark mass, and a Fierz-complete set of four-fermion interactions.
