Deconfinement transition. a Finite temperature deconfinement transition from a superinsulator (magnetic numbers M = ±1 fall into the interior of the ellipse, while electric numbers Q = ±1 remain outside) to an insulator (no non-trivial quantum numbers fall within the ellipse). b The finite-temperature scaling factor that determines the critical temperature for the superinsulator deconfinement transition, vc is the light velocity in the material
