摘要：Eigenvalues of a Wilson loop operator are gauge invariant and their distribution undergoes a
transition at infinite N as the size of the loop is changed. We study this transition using the average
characteristic polynomial associated with theWilson loop operator. We derive the scaling function
in a certain double scaling limit for two dimensional QCD and hypothesize that the transition in
three and four dimensional QCD are in the same universality class. Numerical evidence for this
hypothesis is provided in three dimensions.
