It turns out that center vortices are rigid, however, their dynamics is more complicated than that of rigid random surfaces, since some coupling constants have nonstandard scaling dimensions. As a result, the properties of center vortices are almost completely determined by curvature-dependent effects. This, in turn, provides a qualitative explanation of vortex percolation.Comments: 7 pages, 3 figures, talk given at XXV International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory, July 30 - August 4 2007, Regensburg, GermanyHigh Energy Physics - Latticetext
