Abstract
Using the path integral method, we calculate the partition function and the generating functional (of the field strengths) on nonlocal generalized 2D Yang-Mills theories (nlgYM2's), which are nonlocal in the auxiliary field. This has been considered before by Saaidi and Khorrami. Our calculations are done for general surfaces. We find a general expression for the free energy of $W(\phi) =
\phi^{2k}$ in nlgYM2 theories at the strong coupling phase (SCP) regime ( A > Ac) for large groups. In the specific $\phi^4$ model, we show that the theory has a third order phase transition.
