Deconfinement through chiral transition in 2 flavor QCD

We propose that in QCD with dynamical quarks, colour deconfinement occurs when an external field induced by the chiral condensate strongly aligns the Polyakov loop. This effect sets in at the chiral symmetry restoration temperature

T_{\chi}

and thus makes deconfinement and chiral symmetry restoration coincide. The predicted singular behavior of Polyakov loop susceptibilities at

T_{\chi}

is shown to be supported by finite temperature lattice calculations.
