Recent semiclassical (for SU(2)) and lattice (for QCD) studies have suggested that confinement arises from interactions of statistical ensembles of instantondyons with the Polyakov loop. In this work, we extend studies of semiclassical ensemble of dyons to the SU(3) Yang-Mills theory. We find that such interactions do generate the expected first-order deconfinement phase transition. The properties of the ensemble, including correlations and topological susceptibility, are studied over a range of tempe ... |
