Description
I will review a collection of results obtained over the years using the
space-time topology and size to probe the dynamics of Yang-Mills fields.
In particular our goal is to connect the region well described by
perturbative and semiclassical methods to the confinement regime and
its string-like behaviour. We will start by looking at the simpler 2+1
dimensional case and then move on to 3+1 dimensions, including the
lastest results with a T_2xR^2 geometry.
