Proposes torus and lens-space twisted partition functions as criteria for center-vortex and monopole condensation and proves vortex condensation implies monopole condensation in gapped phases.

Numerical lattice study shows fractional instantons on twisted T^4 morph into monopole-instantons and center vortices as geometry interpolates between R^{4-k} x T^k, with some transitions discontinuous under deformation.
