Contribution
It introduces a meron-based effective theory that successfully models confinement and matches lattice QCD data for action density and topological susceptibility.
Findings

The theory is compatible with center symmetry.
Results align with lattice QCD for key observables.
Abstract
It is shown that an effective theory with meron degrees of freedom produces confinement in SU(2) Yang Mills theory. This effective theory is compatible with center symmetry. When the scale is set by the string tension, the action density and topological susceptibility are similar to those arising in lattice QCD.
