Abstract
We use solvable two-dimensional gauge theories to illustrate the issue s in relating large N gauge theory to string theory. We also give an i ntroduction to recent mathematical work which allows constructing mast er fields for higher dimensional large N theories. We illustrate this with a new derivation of the Hopf equation governing the evolution of the spectral density in matrix quantum mechanics.
