Simulations of a partially reduced twisted Eguchi-Kawai model with one adjoint Dirac fermion show the Polyakov loop remains near zero for periodic boundary conditions as the compactified circle shrinks, supporting adiabatic continuity of the confined phase.
Order parameters and color-flavor center symmetry in QCD

abstract
Common lore suggests that $N$-color QCD with massive quarks has no useful order parameters which can be non-trivial at zero baryon density. However, such order parameters do exist when there are $n_f$ quark flavors with a common mass and $d\equiv\gcd(n_f,N) > 1$. These theories have a $\mathbb Z_d$ color-flavor center symmetry arising from intertwined color center transformations and cyclic flavor permutations. The symmetry realization depends on the temperature, baryon chemical potential and value of $n_f/N$, with implications for conformal window studies and dense quark matter.
