摘要：It is expected that incorporating the center symmetry in the conventional dimensionally reduced
effective theory for high-temperature SU(Nc) Yang-Mills theory, EQCD, will considerably extend
its applicability towards the deconfinement transition. The construction of such a centersymmetric
effective theory for the case of two colors is reviewed and lattice simulation results
are presented. The simulations demonstrate that unlike EQCD, the new center-symmetric theory
undergoes a second order confining phase transition in complete analogy with the full theory.
