Deconfinement Transition in Dual QCD

Abstract

The QCD Lagrangean expressed in terms of dual potentials exhibits, at zero temperature, spontaneous symmetry breaking giving rise to dual superconductivity and therefore to color confinement. At a finite temperature, the spontaneous symmetry breaking disappears and so does confinement. We estimate the deconfining transition temperature using a high-temperature expansion.
