Abstract
The interplay of mesonic fluctuations with an axial -symmetry breaking and resulting effects on the location of a possibly existing critical endpoint in the QCD phase diagram are investigated in a framework of the functional renormalization group within a flavor quark-meson model truncation. The axial -symmetry breaking is imposed by a mesonic Kobayashi-Maskawa-'t Hooft determinant. The quark mass sensitivity of the chiral phase transition with and without the -symmetry breaking is studied.
