Abstract
The Green function Monte Carlo method of Chin et al is applied to SU(2 ) Yang-Mills theory in (2 + 1) dimensions. Accurate measurements are o btained for the ground-state energy and mean plaquette value, and for various Wilson loops. The results are compared with series and linked- cluster expansions, and with the Euclidean Monte Carlo results of Tepe r. The finite-size scaling behaviour of the model is discussed briefly .
