Abstract

We study the topological charge in Nf=2N_f=2 QCD at finite temperature using M\"obius domain-wall fermions. The susceptibility χt\chi_t of the topological charge defined either by the index of overlap Dirac operator or a gluonic operator is investigated at several values of temperature T (>Tc)T\ (>T_c) varying the quark mass. A strong suppression of the susceptibility is observed below a certain value of the quark mass. The relation with the restoration of UA(1)U_A(1) is discussed.
