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.
