How to check that dyons are at work?

Abstract

I present arguments in favor of the dyon mechanism of confinement and deconfinement. Dyons may be those real physical objects that are revealed as lattice monopoles in the Abelian gauges, and as central vortices in the central gauges. I suggest a lattice calculation of the effective action as function of the gauge invariant eigenvalues of the Polyakov line, which is of general interest but in particular may support or refute the importance of dyons in the Yang--Mills vacuum.
