This effective theory is compatible with center symmetry. When the scale is set by the string tension, the action density and topological susceptibility are similar to those arising in lattice QCD.4 pages, 2 figuresHigh Energy Physics - TheoryHigh Energy Physics - LatticeHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
