Abstract

We restrict our computation in the mean field approximation which could lead to a clear critical behavior. We analyze the scaling behavior with different shape of interaction kernel by considering different dressed-gluon models. The critical exponent we obtained is consistent with that in the 3D3D O(4)\textrm{O}(4) universality class. The size of critical region is up to m024  m_{0}^{} \le 2\sim 4\;MeV in this mean field approximation which sets naturally an upper bound of the critical region since the fluctuations beyond mean-field usually diminish the critical region. Besides, we analyze the possible percentage of the maximum chiral susceptibility and pion mass range at which the chiral phase transition temperature is independent of the current quark mass. The results show that the percentage and the pion mass range depend on the details of interaction kernel, which differs in gluon models.
