Description

Coherent center domains in local Polyakov loops We analyze properties of local Polyakov loops using quenched as well as dynamical SU(3) gauge configurations for a wide range of temperatures. It is demonstrated that for both, the confined and the deconfined phases, the local Polyakov loop prefers phase values near the center elements $1, e^{pm2\pi/3$. We divide the sites of the lattice into three sectors according to these phases and show that the sectors give rise to the formation of clusters. For a suitable definition of these clusters we find that the deconfinement transition manifests itself as the onset of percolation of the clusters.
