Abstract
Chiral thermodynamics of charmed mesons is formulated at finite temperature within a -flavored effective Lagrangian incorporating heavy quark symmetry. The chiral mass splittings are shown to be less sensitive to the light-quark flavors, attributed to the underlying heavy quark symmetry. Consequently, chiral symmetry restoration is more accelerated in the strange charmed-mesons than in the strange light mesons, and this is in striking contrast to the chiral SU(4) result. We also show the correlations between light and heavy flavors around the chiral crossover.
