Description

Inequalities for QCD functional integrals are used to establish that if the QCD functional integral does not get contributions from a set of zero measure, then the high-temperature chirally restored phase of QCD is effectively symmetric under U(Nf)xU(Nf) rather than SU(Nf)xSU(Nf). If this assumption is correct, there are no effects due to anomalous breaking of U(1)A on correlation functions in this phase. copyright 1996 The American Physical Society
