Description

A calculation is reported on the topological susceptibility /V at finite temperature in SU(2) lattice gauge theory. Only a weak suppression is found above the deconfinement temperature Tsub(c). The effects of topological fluctuations with scale size of order that of the lattice spacing are discussed. (orig.)
