Center phase transition from matter propagators in (scalar) QCD

Novel order parameters for the confinement-deconfinement phase transition of quenched QCD and fundamentally charged scalar QCD are presented. Similar to the well-known dual condensate, they are defined via generalized matter propagators with U(1)-valued boundary conditions. The order parameters are...
