2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/199446I start by giving a brief overview over new developments in the area of confinement and topology. As an example for the interrelations between topological objects, instantons at finite temperature are discussed. Then I focus on new insights into the structure of the QCD vacuum obtained through filtering methods, in particular those based on decompositions w.r.t. fermionic eigenmodes.13 pages; plenary talk given at 25th International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory, Regensburg, Germany, 30 Jul - 4 Aug 2007High Energy Physics - LatticeHigh Energy Physics - PhenomenologyHigh Energy Physics - Theorytext
