Impact of Z<SUB>2</SUB> monopoles and vortices on the deconfinement transition

Suppressing Z2-monopoles shifts the line of deconfinement transitions in the coupling plane of the SU(2) lattice gauge theory with a mixed Villain form of action but it still continues to behave also like the bulk transition line. Separate deconfinement and bulk phase transitions are found on the same lattice, suggesting the two to be indeed coincident at higher adjoint couplings. Universality is restored when both monopoles and vortices are suppressed
