Abstract

By means of a Langevin algorithm which incorporates the dynamical effects of various fermion species of nondegenerate masses, we simulate QCD with an isodoublet of quarks of mass 0.025 in lattice units and a heavier strange quark on an 83× 4 lattice. Our results suggest that the finite-temperature QCD phase transition in the real world is first order, that it is driven by the light condensate, and that it might be accompanied by a partial restoration of U(1)A symmetry.
