Classical and quantum gravity in dimensions: I. A unifying approach

Abstract
We provide a concise approach to generalized dilaton theories with and without torsion and coupling to Yang - Mills fields. Transformations on the space of fields are used to trivialize the field equations locally. In this way their solution becomes accessible within a few lines of calculation only. In this first of a series of papers we set the stage for a thorough global investigation of classical and quantum aspects of more or less all available 2D gravity - Yang - Mills models.
