E. Meggiolaro, IS THE U(1) AXIAL SYMMETRY RESTORED ABOVE THE SU(L)CIRCLE-TIMES-SU(L)CHIRAL TRANSITION, Zeitschrift fur Physik. C, Particles and fields, 62(4), 1994, pp. 669-677
We discuss an effective Lagrangian model in which the U(1) chiral symm
etry is restored above the SU(L) X SU(L) chiral phase transition (L be
ing the number of light flavours) and the topological susceptibility c
hi(YM) of the pure Yang-Mills theory drops to zero above the chiral tr
ansition. A new order parameter is introduced for the U(1) chiral symm
etry and a new ''exotic'' particle becomes relevant at high temperatur
es.
