Ground-state wave-functional in (2+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills theory: Abelian limit, spectrum and robustness

Abstract

We compute the glueball spectrum in (2+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills theory by analyzing correlators of the Leigh-Minic-Yelnikov ground-state wave-functional in the Abelian limit. The contribution of the WZW measure is treated by a controlled approximation and the resulting spectrum is shown to reduce to that obtained by Leigh et al., at large momentum.
