Due to a rapid change of the entropy density $s(T)$ across the critical temperature $T_c$ of the QCD phase transition, the pressure $P(T)$ and the energy density $e(T)$ above $T_c$ generally deviate from their Stefan-Boltzmann values. We…

Vacuum energy of quarks participates in the pressure balance at the temperature transition T_c and defines the dependence of T_c on m_q. We first check this dependence in absence of magnetic fields eB vs known lattice data, and then take…
