摘要：We construct a novel observable for finite temperature QCD that relates confinement and chiral
symmetry. It uses phases as boundary conditions for the fermions. We discuss numerical
and analytical aspects of this observable, like its spectral behavior below and above the critical
temperature, as well as the connection to chiral condensate, center symmetry and the canonical
ensemble.
