Abstract: (APS)

The phase transition restoring chiral symmetry at finite temperatures is considered in a linear σ model. For three or more massless flavors, the perturbative ε expansion predicts the phase transition is of first order. At high temperatures, the UA(1) symmetry will also be effectively restored.
