Description

In this article we analyse a two dimensional lattice gauge theory based on a quantum group. The algebra generated by gauge fields is the lattice algebra introduced recently by A. Yu. Alekseev, H. Grosse and V. Schomerus (1994). We define and study Wilson loops. This theory is quasi-topological as in the classical case, which allows us to compute the correlation functions of this theory on an arbitrary surface. (orig.)
