| contents | Previously, we proposed an infrared vacuum wave functional for $SU(N)$ Yang-Mills theory peaked at thin center vortices and showed that it yields an area law for the Wilson loop. In this work, we use this wave functional to calculate the spatial 't Hooft loop, for which we find a perimeter law, in accordance with 't Hooft's criterion for confinement. |
