Dynamical lattice QCD thermodynamics with domain wall fermions
We present results from simulations of two flavor QCD thermodynamics at N_t=4
with domain wall fermions. In contrast to other lattice fermion formulations,
domain wall fermions preserve the full chiral symmetry of the continuum at
finite lattice spacing (up to terms exponentially small in an extra parameter).
Just above the phase transition, we find that the axial U(1) symmetry is broken
only by a small amount. We discuss an ongoing calculation to determine the
order and properties of the phase transition using domain wall fermions, since
the global symmetries of the theory are expected to be important here.Comment: 4 pages, 4 eps figures, LaTeX. To appear in the Proceedings of the
