't Hooft Loops, Electric Flux Sectors and Confinement in SU(2) Yang-Mills Theory

We use 't Hooft loops of maximal size on finite lattices to calculate the free energy in the sectors of SU(2) Yang-Mills theory with fixed electric flux as a function of temperature and (spatial) volume. Our results provide evidence for the mass gap. The confinement of electric fluxes in the lo...
