Quantum Chromodynamics with Many Flavors
We investigate the phase structure of lattice QCD for general number of
flavors . Based on numerical data combined with the results of the
perturbation theory we propose the following picture: When , there
is only one IR fixed point at vanishing gauge coupling, i.e., the theory in the
continuum limit is trivial. On the other hand, when , there
is a non-trivial fixed point. Therefore, the theory is non-trivial with
anomalous dimensions, however, without quark confinement. Theories which
satisfy both quark confinement and spontaneous chiral symmetry breaking in the
continuum limit exist only for .Comment: Talk presented by K. Kanaya at the 1997 Yukawa International Seminar

Towards the QCD equation of state at the physical point using Wilson fermion
We study the (2+1)-flavor QCD at nonzero temperatures using nonperturbatively
improved Wilson quarks of the physical masses by the fixed scale approach. We
perform physical point simulations at finite temperatures with the coupling
parameters which were adopted by the PACS-CS Collaboration in their studies
using the reweighting technique. Zero temperature values are obtained on the
PACS-CS configurations which are open to the public on the ILDG/JLDG. Finite
temperature configurations are generated with the RHMC algorithm. The lattice
sizes are with , 13, , 4 which correspond to
--550 MeV. We present results of some basic observables at these
temperatures and the status of our calculation of the equation of state.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures, proceedings of the 33rd International Symposium

Phase structure of QCD for general number of flavors
We investigate and elucidate the phase structure of QCD for general number of
flavors with Wilson quarks, varying from 2 up to 300. Based on
numerical results combined with the result of the perturbation theory we
propose the following picture: When , there is only a trivial fixed
point and therefore the theory in the continuum limit is trivial. On the other
hand, when , there is a non-trivial fixed point and therefore
the theory is non-trivial with anomalous dimensions, however, without quark
confinement. Theories which satisfy both quark confinement and spontaneous
chiral symmetry breaking in the continuum limit exist only for . We
also discuss the structure of the deconfining phase at finite temperatures for
the small number of flavors such as and 3, through a systematic study
of it for general number of flavors.Comment: LaTeX, 7 pages, 10 PS figures, Talk presented at LATTICE96(poster)

Equation of state in 2+1 flavor QCD with improved Wilson quarks by the fixed scale approach
We study the equation of state in 2+1 flavor QCD with nonperturbatively
improved Wilson quarks coupled with the RG-improved Iwasaki glue. We apply the
-integration method to nonperturbatively calculate the equation of state by
the fixed-scale approach. With the fixed-scale approach, we can purely vary the
temperature on a line of constant physics without changing the system size and
renormalization constants. Unlike the conventional fixed- approach, it is
easy to keep scaling violations small at low temperature in the fixed scale
approach. We study 2+1 flavor QCD at light quark mass corresponding to
, while the strange quark mass is chosen around the
physical point. Although the light quark masses are heavier than the physical
values yet, our equation of state is roughly consistent with recent results
with highly improved staggered quarks at large .Comment: 14 pages, 12 figures, v2: Table I and Figure 3 are corrected,

Finite Temperature QCD with Wilson Quarks: A Study with a Renormalization Group Improved Gauge Action
Finite temperature transition in lattice QCD with degenerate Wilson quarks is
investigated on an lattice, using a renormalization group improved
gauge action. We find the following for the case:
1) The transition is smooth for a wide range of the quark mass.
2) The chiral transition is continuous.
3) The chiral condensation well satisfies a scaling relation with the
critical exponents of the 3 dimensional spin model. For , we find
that the chiral transition is of first order.Comment: 4 pages (6 figures), Postscript file, Contribution to Lattice 95

Finite-temperature chiral transitions in QCD with the Wilson quark action
We investigate the finite-temperature phase structure and the scaling of the
chiral condensate in lattice QCD with two degenerate light quarks, using a
renormalization group improved gauge action and the Wilson quark action. We
obtain a phase diagram which is consistent with that from the parity-flavor
breaking scenario. The scaling relation for the chiral condensate assuming the
critical exponents and the scaling function of the three dimensional O(4) model
is remarkably satisfied for a wide range of parameters. This indicates that the
chiral transition in two flavor QCD is of second order in the continuum limit.Comment: LaTeX, 3 pages, 4 EPS figures, Talk presented at LATTICE97 (finite

Finite temperature phase transition of two-flavor QCD with an improved Wilson quark action
We study the phase structure of QCD at finite temperatures with two flavors
of dynamical quarks on a lattice with the size , using a renormalization group improved gauge action and a clover improved
Wilson quark action. The simulations are made along the lines of constant
physics determined in terms of at zero-temperature. We
show preliminary results for the spatial string tension in the high temperature
phase.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figures, talk presented at Lattice 2006 (high temperature
