Yang-Mills theory in (2+1) dimensions: a short review
Abstract
The analysis of (2+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills (YM2+1) theory via the use of gauge-invariant matrix variables is reviewed. The vacuum wavefunction, string tension, the propagator mass for gluons, its relation to the magnetic mass for YM3+1 at nonzero temperature and the extension of our analysis to the Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory are discussed.
