Planar Limit & Genus Expansion � ’t Hooft � Gauge theory with adjoint matter in the large N c limit: 1974 ◮ Feynman diagrams are double-line diagrams. ◮ Operator traces induce a definite ordering of connecting propagators. ◮ All color lines (propagators and traces) form closed oriented loops. ◮ Assign an oriented disk (face) to each loop. ◮ Obtain a compact oriented surface (operators form boundaries). ◮ The genus of the surface defines the genus of the diagram.

Correlators of single-trace operators: Count powers of N c and g 2 YM for propagators ( ∼ g 2 YM ), vertices ( ∼ 1 /g 2 YM ), and faces ( ∼ N c ), define λ = g 2 YM N c , use Euler formula: ∞ 1 1 G ( g ) � �O 1 . . .
