Abstract
We outline a method of relating the quantum effective action and the ground state wave function of a field theory. This method, along with a gauge-invariant mass term and the previously obtained vacuum wave function, is used to arrive at the leading terms of the 3d-covariant quantum effective action for the Yang-Mills theory in three (or 2+1) dimensions. Some features of this effective action are also discussed.
