摘要：A center vortex model for the infrared sector of SU(4) Yang-Mills theory is constructed such as to
reproduce both the ratio between the zero-temperature quark and diquark string tensions known
from lattice Yang-Mills theory, as well as the properties of the deconnement transition. On this
basis, the temperature dependence of the spatial quark and diquark string tensions is predicted.
Though still phenomenologically viable, details of the construction of the SU(4) center vortex
model corroborate previous arguments that modeling infrared Yang-Mills dynamics purely in
terms of vortex world-surface characteristics may become less appropriate as the number of colors
is increased.
