D. Oshaughnessy et Cj. Burden, VARIATIONAL WAVE-FUNCTIONS FOR NONCOMPACT U(1) LATTICE GAUGE-THEORY -COMPARISON WITH EXACT RESULT, Australian journal of physics, 46(2), 1993, pp. 231-240
Estimates of the ground state wavefunction of (2+1)-dimensional non-co
mpact U(1) Hamiltonian lattice gauge theory are found in terms of vari
ational wavefunctions with up to four parameters. These wavefunctions
are compared with the exact ground state as a test of the accuracy of
the method.
