Roles of Polyakov loops in Yang-Mills theory on 𝕋2 × ℝ2
We present an effective model of SU(N) pure Yang-Mills theory on 𝕋2 × ℝ2, where two directions are compactified with periodic boundary conditions. Our model includes two Polyakov loops serving as the order parameters of two center symmetries. Based on the model, for N = 2 and N = 3 we show that a ri...
