Abstract:We analyze the vacuum structure of SU(2) lattice gauge theories in D = 2, 3, 4, concentrating on the stability of 't Hooft loops. High precision calculations have been performed in D=3; similar results hold also for D=4 and D=2. We discuss the impact of our findings on the continuum limit of Yang-Mills theories.
