Abstract
We study the meta-stable states in high temperature phase of QCD characterised by nonzero expectation values for the imaginary part of the Polyakov loop. We consider dynamical staggered quarks, and carry out simulations at various values of the coupling to observe these states. In particular, we find the value of the coupling () above which the meta-stable states appear. The resulting value of corresponds to temperature MeV for .
