| contents | Wilson loops provide the central gauge-invariant probe of confinement in lattice gauge theory. This survey reviews the statistical-mechanical formulation of lattice gauge ensembles, the strong-coupling and duality mechanisms behind area laws, finite-temperature and continuum scaling diagnostics, and the mathematical status of Wilson-loop confinement. |
