Relations Among Correlation Functions in the High Temperature Phase of QCD with Broken SU(3)

Abstract

Group-theoretic arguments are used to determine the dependence of two-point correlators of quark bilinears on the current quark masses. The leading difference between π\pi and δ\delta correlators is found to be of order msm_s times a U(1)A_{\scriptscriptstyle A}-violating correlator. These general arguments are consistent with Schaefer's observation that if U(1)A_{\scriptscriptstyle A} violation persists to high enough temperatures then the strange η\eta can be lighter than the non-strange one.
