Title: Finite temperature properties of QCD with two flavors and three, four, and five colors

Abstract

I present a numerical study of the crossover between the low temperature chirally broken phase and the high temperature chirally restored phase in SU(Nc) gauge theory with Nc = 3–5 colors and Nf = 2 degenerate fermion flavors. Fermion masses span a range of intermediate values corresponding to pseudoscalar to vector meson masses (mPS/mV)2 ~ 0.25–0.63. Here, observables include the temperature-dependent chiral condensate and screening masses. At each fermion mass these quantities show nearly identical temperature dependence across Nc.
