Description
Confinement phenomenon for a long time was associated with
Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) of cirtain magnetic objects.
In a series of previous works we had shown that it is indeed the
case for lattice monopoles, which in pure gauge theory are about
as numeroous near $T_c$ as gluons. We can now show that with
increasing number of quark flavors to $N_f\sim 10$ the deconfinement
transition moves to much stronger coupling, and thus magnetic
monopoles will dominate electric excitations. We will also speculate
that ``unusual" magnetic objects can undergo BEC, as they known to
do so in supersymmetric analogs of multi-flavor QCD.
