In quest of the Yang-Mills vacuum wavefunctional

Abstract

A simple recursion procedure was devised to generate lattice configurations with probability distributions given by simple approximate Yang-Mills vacuum wavefunctionals. A few quantities determined in ensembles of these configurations are compared to those computed in configurations generated in standard Monte Carlo simulations of the three-dimensional Yang-Mills theory.
