A general analysis of the chiral phase transition
Description
The universality classes applicable to the chiral phase transition are studied. The ε-expansion predicts that the chiral transition should always be of first order for three or more flavors. If fluctuations with topological charge evaporate at temperatures well below the chiral transition point, a new phase of hadronic matter could occur, one in which there would be massive violations of isospin
