Abstract
We study the difficulties associated with detecting chiral singularities in strongly coupled lattice QCD at fixed nonzero tempearture. We show that the behavior of the chiral condensate, the pion mass and the pion decay constant, for small masses, are all consistent with the predictions of Chiral Perturbation Theory. However, the values of the quark masses that we need to demonstrate this are much smaller than those being used in dynamical QCD simulations.
