摘要
We discuss the role of the U(1) axial symmetry for the scalar and pseudoscalar meson mass spectrum of QCD at finite temperature, above the chiral transition at T-c, using a chiral effective Lagrangian model, which, in addition to the usual chiral condensate <(q) over barq >, also includes a (possible) genuine U(1)(A)-breaking condensate that (possibly) survives across the chiral transition. The motivations for considering this Lagrangian (and a critical comparison with other effective Lagrangian models existing in the literature) are presented. A detailed comparison between the case N-f >= 3 and the (remarkably different) case N-f = 2 is performed. The results obtained in the case N-f = 2 are also critically compared with the available lattice results.
