Abstract

We show that the color NN dependent area law falloffs of the double-winding Wilson loop averages for the SU(N)SU(N) lattice gauge theory obtained in the preceding works are reproduced from the corresponding lattice Abelian gauge theory with the center gauge group ZNZ_N. This result indicates the center group dominance in quark confinement.
