the requirements to obtain a liquid. As a repulsive interaction is needed, we incorporate a concentric core in
the strings as well as the probability that a string allows core-core overlaps. We find systems where the
difference between the gas-liquid and confined-deconfined phase transition temperatures is small. This
explains the experimentally observed liquid behavior of the quark-gluon plasma above the confineddeconfined
transition temperature.[+][-]
