Abstract
I review the analysis of (2+1)-dimensional Yang-Mills ( theory via the use of gauge-invariant matrix variables. The vacuum wavefunction, string tension, the propagator mass for gluons, its relation to the magnetic mass for at nonzero temperature and the extension of our analysis to the Yang-Mills-Chern-Simons theory are discussed. A possible extension to 3+1 dimensions is also briefly considered.
